Pasquale Mario Costa (Composer)

Born: 24th July 1858, Taranto, Italy

Died: 27th September 1993, Monte Carlo, Monaco

Nationality: Italian

Mario Pasquale Costa was a prolific Italian composer primarily known for his art songs, Neapolitan songs, and operettas.

Costa was born in Taranto to Angelo and Maria Giuseppa née Malagisi. His father was a customs official, but the Costa family numbered several notable composers and musicians, including Costa's uncle Michael Costa and his great-grandfather Giacomo Tritto. Costa studied composition, piano and singing at the San Pietro a Maiella Conservatory in Naples under another uncle Carlo Costa, Paolo Serrao, and Giuseppe Martucci.

By the age of 17 Costa had already published numerous art songs. Possessed of an attractive tenor voice, he often performed them himself for the first time.
