Piero Cappuccilli was an Italian operatic baritone from Trieste who began his professional singing career in the 1950s, specialising in 19th-century Italian opera and becoming most associated with Verdi roles. His repertoire, recordings and international performances sustained interest in the Italian baritone tradition and served as a reference for performance practice in Verdi operas through the late 20th century.
