Biography
Romano Gandolfi was an Italian choral and orchestral conductor. Drawn to music from childhood through his motherâs involvement in a local church choir, he studied at the Conservatorio Arrigo Boito di Parma and later trained in choral conducting under Roberto Benaglio.

He also collaborated with major opera houses including La Scala, the Rome Opera, and the Teatro de la Zarzuela, and took part in notable recordings such as Verdiâs Simon Boccanegra and Petite Messe Solennelle with Mirella Freni and Luciano Pavarotti, and later founded the Giuseppe Verdi Symphonic Choir of Milan in the 1990s. He died on February 17, 2006.
