Artist and opera
singer-Baccante's opera career probably started with his debut in 1909 at
Faraggiana of Novara as Zurga in Pescatori di Perle. Performances by Baccante
in Italy were traced from 1909 to 1914 in smaller Italian houses. He served in
the Italian Army during the First World War and in 1922 emigrated to the U.S.,
at that point concentrating on a career as an painter and sculptor. He
subsequently occasionally appeared in concerts and on the radio in the U.S. but
was mostly active and recognized as a painter. He died of heart disease.
