Italo Montemezzi (4 August 4 1875 – 15 May 15, 1952) was an Italian composer. [NB. Some sources list his birth date as 31 May.]
Domestic Culture, ca. 1920
L'amore dei tre re [The Love of the Three Kings] quickly became an international success, especially in the United States, where it became a staple of the repertory for several decades. – adapted from Wikipedia, s.v. “L'amore dei tre re“
Said a man to his wife, “My dear Betsy,
I’ve purchased some tickets, so let’s see
The Love of Three Kings,
(It's the chicest of things).
By that wonderful new Montemezzi!”
