Redento Comacchio

His first name is, and was perhaps already at his time, often spelled Redente. Both forms of this, however rare, Italian name exist, but his actual name seems to have been Redento. He sang comprimario roles for the better part of his career, from the mid-1970s into the 1990s (often at the Teatro Regio in Torino); but in the 1960s, he was cast in roles such as Pollione and Manrico, for example in the Netherlands and in South Africa.
