Enrico Toselli

Enrico Toselli, Count of Montignoso (March 13, 1883 – January 15, 1926), was an Italian pianist and composer. Born in Florence, he studied piano with Giovanni Sgambati and composition with Giuseppe Martucci and Reginaldo Grazzini. He embarked on a career as a concert pianist, playing in Italy, European capital cities, Alexandria and North America. His most popular composition is Serenata ‘Rimpianto’ Op.6 No.1. They had one son, Carlo Emanuele (7 May 1908 – 1969). Toselli’s memoirs of his marriage to royalty, Mari d’altesse: 4 ans de mariage avec Louise de Toscane, ex-princesse de Saxe, were published in French after his divorce. He died of consumption in 1926 at the relatively young age of 43. References *Luisa di Toscana. La mia storia, Societa’ Editrice Italiana, Milano (1911). *Enrico Toselli.
