Niccolò Castiglioni

Born: 17th July 1932, Milan, Italy

Died: 7th September 1996, Milan, Italy

Nationality: Italian

Niccolò Castiglioni was an Italian composer, pianist, and writer on music.

Castiglioni was born and raised in Milan, where he began studying piano at the age of 7. He received his performer's diploma from the Milan Conservatory in 1952, and graduated there in composition in 1953. His student compositions were marked by Stravinsky's neo-classicism, but after graduation his style changed under the influence of the Second Viennese School. His interest in twelve-tone technique was joined with musical-political engagement, though this was short-lived.
