THE MUSIC OF LORENZO VIVIANI
Lorenzo Viviani was born in Menfi December 21, 1879. Graduated in law, from marriage with Marietta Barrile he had five sons (among them there is my maternal grandmother). He worked as police captain in several localities of Sicily and, in the second post-war period, in Latina. He fighted with firmness and severity against mafia, too suffering for this an attack, in which he was struck at a shoulder January 28, 1920 in Sambucca of Sicily. He composed several musical pieces, some of which had been published. He pass away on Christmas Eve of 1961 after an incurable illness, when I had a little more than three and a half years. Though I was too much little for having very definite memory of my great-grandfather, I owe indirectly also to him, that transmitted it to sons and grandsons, my passion for classic music.
