The article explains that Gino Visconti, a violinist and accordionist from Palermo, passed away at the age of 81 after a long illness. He was a member of the Orchestra of the Teatro Massimo for many years and also taught at the Conservatory where he had studied. Even in retirement for twenty years, Visconti remained deeply connected to the world of music. His daughters, who he leaves behind along with three grandchildren, say he “lived for the notes”, despite his illness preventing him from attending the theater. Described as a profoundly good person, he was loved by all, with even the superintendent of the Teatro Massimo, Marco Betta, remembering him as a gentle and kind man.
