Talk:Giovanni Cifolelli

Date of birth
I have removed the year 1735 given for the date of birth because sources of apparently similar reliability give conflicting information about it. The sources cited for the 1735 date are library catalogue systems. But the book from which the article has been copied says that the date is unknown (as does the article itself), the liner notes of a CD containing a performance of one of his compositions lists him as Giovanni Cifolelli (1745–1810), and there are reliable sources which say that he composed a contradance, La Cifolella, that was published in 1745. While it's not impossible for a 10-year old boy to have a composition published, it is highly unusual, so these sources certainly make a proposed date of birth of 1735 seem rather more doubtful (and one of 1745 absolutely impossible, if they are correct).
