Paolo Litta

Paolo Litta (7 May 1871, Stockholm – 8 May 1931, Fiesole^[1]) was an Italian composer. He was of mixed Italian and Swedish heritage. He was married to the Italian opera singer, Ida Isori^{[n 1]}, and dedicated the work, Le Lac d’Amour, to her. Litta was known for having a dispute with Valentine de Saint-Point on the possibility that some ideas in de Saint-Point's La Métachorie were copied from his work, la Déesse Nue.^[3] Relatively unknown even in Italian records such as the supplementary material^[4] for Dizionario Universale dei Musicisti by Carlo Schmidl, La Morte di Cleopatra was his noticeable work to the public until his death.
