Federico Mompellio

Biography

Federico Mompellio (September 9, 1908 – August 7, 1989) was an Italian musicologist, music editor, music librarian, and music critic. He worked as a music librarian and professor of music history at several conservatories and universities during a lengthy academic career that began in 1933 and extended into the 1980s. As a scholar, he is best remembered for his biographies of the composers Niccolò Paganini and Sigismondo d'India. He also worked extensively as a music editor on the works of Paganini for the music publisher Casa Ricordi, most notably reconstructing Paganini's Violin Concerto No. 5; a work which was unknown until manuscripts were discovered in 1972 long after the composer's death.
