Alfonso Gibilaro

Alfonso Gibilaro, who was born on 28 September 1888 in Porto Empedocle and who died on 5 January 1957, was a Sicilian pianist, opera coach and composer. Two of his masterpieces—an Ave Maria as well as a Sicilian dialect song entitled Carrettieri —were popularized by the interpretation and sound recordings made by the famous Italian tenor Beniamino Gigli on behalf of His Master's Voice.
