Alberto Savinio Biography

(b Athens, 25 Aug 1891; d Rome, 6 May 1952). Italian writer, theorist, painter, composer and theatre designer. His Greek childhood, shared with his brother GIORGIO DE CHIRICO, informed his life’s work. Savinio was something of a musical prodigy, graduating with honours in piano and composition from the Athens Conservatory at the age of 12. By 1906, he was studying under Max Reger in Munich, and he composed an opera, Carmela , at the age of 17. The prospects in Italy proved disappointing and, after a concert given in Munich, Savinio left for Paris in 1910.
