Giulio Fioravanti (1923-1999) was an Italian baritone, active in opera and recording during the mid-twentieth century. He appeared in Italian repertory and in several important recorded performances.

In the Pristine catalogue he appears in Puccini’s Manon Lescaut with Maria Callas, Giuseppe di Stefano and Tullio Serafin.

Fioravanti’s work here belongs to the Italian ensemble tradition, where strong character, diction and vocal placement give the stage its necessary population.

His page is modest but useful because the recording is significant. Fioravanti adds a securely named baritone thread to the Callas Puccini shelf.
