Silvio Maionica was an Italian bass, active in opera and recording during the post-war period. He appeared in several important Italian studio recordings.

In the Pristine catalogue he appears in Verdi with Callas, Bastianini, Scotto, Kraus, Cossotto and La Scala or Maggio Musicale Fiorentino forces.

Maionica’s singing brought firm bass tone, Italian diction and practical theatrical authority to ensemble roles in large casts.

His page is justified by repeated catalogue presence. Maionica gives the Italian opera shelf a solid bass underpinning.
