Arturo Cadore

Arturo Cadore (15 September 1877 – 25 June 1929) was an Italian composer and organist. Born in Soresina (Province of Cremona), he primarily composed operettas and parlor songs, and comic operas.[1] He is also known for having completed Amilcare Ponchielli's opera I Mori di Valenza which had been left unfinished when the composer died in 1886 and was premiered posthumously in 1914. In his later years he was the organist at the Chiesa di San Vittore in Olona (near Varese). Cadore died in Gaggiano at the age of 51.[2]
