Remo Andreini studied in Milan with maestro Cairone and made his debut in
1900
in Borgotaro at the Teatro Sociale as Manrico (other sources state debut in Vienna).
He was endowed with an uncommon extension
(up to high F). He primarily sang in smaller opera houses, and he often made guest appearances abroad.
In 1916, he was drafted, but this did not have a negative influence on his career.
His career evolved as follows:
