Mirto Picchi was an Italian tenor, active in opera and recording during the mid-twentieth century. He sang at major Italian houses and appeared in important studio performances.

In the Pristine catalogue he appears in Cherubini’s Medea with Maria Callas, Renata Scotto, Miriam Pirazzini and Tullio Serafin.

Picchi’s singing brought Italianate line and dramatic focus to a role placed within one of Callas’s most important recorded operatic worlds.

His page is justified by career standing and catalogue context. Picchi gives the Callas Medea shelf a firm tenor profile.
