Giacomo Manzoni
Giacomo Manzoni (born 1932) is an Italian composer, critic, translator and teacher from Milan, part of the postwar avant-garde generation linked to Darmstadt. He is known for his music theatre, from Atomtod (1965) to Doktor Faustus after Thomas Mann, staged at La Scala in 1989, and for his Italian translations of Adorno and Schoenberg. Manzoni studied composition with Gino Contilli in Messina and at the Milan Conservatory, and took a degree in foreign languages at Bocconi University in 1955. He wrote music criticism for L'Unità and taught at the conservatories of Bologna and Milan.
