GIGLI Beniamino (G-38)

20/03/1890, Recanati, Italy – 30/11/1957, Rome, Italy

Italian opera singer (lyric tenor). He is widely regarded as one of the greatest tenors of his generation. Gigli rose to true international prominence after the death of the great Italian tenor Enrico Caruso in 1921. Such was his popularity with audiences he was often called "Caruso Secondo", though he much preferred to be known as "Gigli Primo". In fact, the comparison was not valid as Caruso had a bigger, darker, more heroic voice than Gigli's sizable yet honey-toned lyric instrument.
