Nino Nipote, pseudonym of Antonio Nipote (Naples, August 24, 1925 – Naples, March 4, 1997), was an Italian singer.[1]

Biography

[edit]

Last of ten sons, Nino Nipote (real name Antonio Nipote) was born in Naples on August 24, 1925, in the Vicaria district.

In 1947 he participated in L'ora del dilettante, a competition for new entries organised by ENAL at the Tarsia Theater (the current Roberto Bracco). The president of the commission, Vittorio Parisi, recommended him a period of study with the master Nino Campanino. After two years of lessons Nino passed a first selection at the radio, and after another audition he passed from the direction of the Campese orchestra to the Anepeta orchestra.

In 1950 he began to record his first discs for the record company Cetra, with the Anepeta and Vinci orchestras. The following year he participated in the Piedigrottissima della Cetra with the songs 'A vocca 'e Cuncettina and Fenesta rosa, along with other singers, including Aurelio Fierro and Eva De Paoli. In 1953 he took part in the Piedigrotta Abici, interpreting Nisciuno by Antonio Vian and, in the same year, he participated in the magazine of Amedeo Greco Poesie e Canzoni with Tina De Paolis, Agostino Salvietti, Aurelio Fierro and Alberto Amato. The following year, in 1954 he was in the cast of the second Festival di Napoli where, in conjunction with Katyna Ranieri, he performed Canta cu mme.[2] The other song proposed entitled Ched'è l'ammore, dubbed by Carla Boni, had less luck and was eliminated in prime time.[3] In the same year he triumphed at the Piedigrotta Acampora with the songs Vela sulitaria and Piazzetta azzurra. In 1955 at the Piedigrotta Bideri he proposed the tune 'O 'nzisto and, in the same year, he participated in the 1st Festival della Canzone Italiana e Napoletana organized by the Anepeta orchestra.

In 1957 he changed record labels, passing to Aldo Scoppa's Vis Radio and participated in the Festival di Napoli with the songs Passiggiatella and Tutto me parla 'e te. In the meantime he participated to numerous programs of variety with Tecla Scarano, Alberto Amato, Aldo Tarantino and others.

He retired from the music scene in the first half of the 1960s.

He died in Naples on March 4, 1997.[4]
