d’Astorga, Emanuele 03/20/1680 - 1757

Emanuele d'Astorga (actually: Emanuele Gioacchino Cesare Baron Rincón d'Astorga, born March 20, 1680 in Augusta (Sicily), † 1757 in Madrid [?]) was an Italian composer.
Emanuele d'Astorga was a member of the aristocratic family Rincón d'Astorga, originally from Spain, who had been resident in Sicily since the beginning of the 17th century. After an earthquake, the family moved to Palermo in 1693. A little later, Emanueles father, Francesco d'Astorga, the title of nobility and the associated rights were denied because he had tried to murder his wife. The title and rights of the father was not returned until 1702 and 1706 Senator of Palermo was appointed.
Emanuele d'Astorga first appeared as a composer in 1698, when his opera "La moglie nemica" was heard in a private performance in the house of the noble family Lucchese. Astorga acted as a singer.
