Carlo Curti (4 November 1807 - 29 December 1872) was an Bolognese Italian cellist, educator and composer.[1][2][3] He studied violin under Rolla (possibly Antonio Rolla), and then the cello under Parisini.[3] He was made professor at the Liceo di Musica (the Royal School of Music in Parma) as a young man and in May 1838 became First Cello in the Teatro Regio in Parma when it was led by Nicola De Giovanni.[1][2][3] He retired to Bologna, his home town and birthplace, in 1871 or 1872 and died from a cardiac condition caused by pneumonia soon after.[1][3] The 17 May 1838 issue of the music journal Teatri Art E Letteratura pointed to him as him an example of Italian musical excellence, a gift to the world.[2]
