Alfredo Quinto

Alfredo Quinto sings

Nothing is known about Alfredo Quinto's personal life so far. All we have is his discography (two recordings for Beka in 1909, eight for Jumbo in 1911, all recorded in Milano), and the chronology of appearances compiled by the admirable Roberto Marcocci – with few exceptions, Quinto made his career far from the important operatic centers:
