Carmine Giordani

Carmine Giordano (c. 1685 in Cerreto Sannita Benevento – 1758 in Naples) was an Italian composer and organist. He studied at the Conservatorio napoletano della Pietà dei Turchini with Gennaro Ursino (1650-1715) and Nicola Fago.[1]

It was long mistakenly thought that Carmine Giordani was father of Tommaso Giordani, who died in Dublin, and Giuseppe Giordani (1743–98), called "Giordanello," but this turns out not to be the case; their father was Giuseppe Giordani, an opera buffa singer.[2]
