Italo Montemezzi (May 31, 1875-May 15, 1952) was an Italian composer.
He lived in California from 1939, but made frequent trips to Italy and returned permanently in 1949.

L'Amore dei tre re (1977 words)
What Montemezzi shares with Debussy is the principle of operating with layers of sound and vocal lines strung along in parallel, instead of with individual voices led contrapuntally; furthermore, both have a certain delight in advancing the musical action on the woodwind.
By far the most lasting influence on Montemezzi undoubtedly came from another composer: even though it has been, and still occasionally is, constantly denied by apologists of Italian 'melodramma', there are strong traces of the music of Wagner, especially Tristan, in «L'Amore dei tre re».
Montemezzi had only a limited interest in many of the compositional preoccupations of the time, but even this lack of interest illustrates his individuality.
