Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco (1895-1968) was born in Florence, Italy and died in Hollywood, California. While interested in many types of music, his primary focus was the guitar. Anti-semitism in Italy led his family to leave in 1939. He interacted with many other musical giants both before and after his emigration and subsequent move to California.
