Emanuele Nutile
Emanuele Nutile (1862–1932) was an Italian composer, best known for his Neapolitan songs.
Career
Born in Naples, Nutile studied counterpoint and composition with Nicola D'Arienzo.[1] In 1887, he became a music teacher at the music school of the Regio Albergo dei Poveri and started composing romances, tarantelle, minuets and piano compositions.[1][2] In 1892, he composed his first song, "'E tiempe so' cagnate" ('Times have changed'), which won a music competition held by music publishing house Template:Interlanguage link, and since then he started a successful career as songwriter, achieving success with songs both in Italian and Neapolitan language including "Girulà", "È mezzanotte", "Na' palumella janca", "A gelosia", "Amor di pastorello".[1][2]
Nutile's major success was "Mamma mia, che vo' sapè", a song he co-wrote with lyricist Ferdinando Russo and that after having been launched by Enrico Caruso became an opera standard.[1]
