Vincenzo Valente

Vincenzo Valente

Vincenzo Valente (Corigliano Calabro, February 21, 1855 - Naples, September 6, 1921) was an Italian composer and writer. He was known for his Neapolitan songs and for his operettas.

Life

Valente wrote his first piece, "Ntuniella", at the age of 15; this initiated a successful collaboration with Giambattista De Curtis. He wrote a total of ten operettas, the best known of which was "I granatieri" of 1889; he also wrote texts for the actor Nicola Maldacea, known for his "macchiette"; he was most famous, though, for his songs, the most famous of which was "Tiempe belle" of 1916.

Valente was a member of the so-called "Società dello Scorfano", an artistic society which ironically emphasized its supporters' brutishness; among its other members was the poet Ferdinando Russo.
