Guido Cantelli was born in Novara/Italy in 1920. One week before his death, at the age of 36, he was appointed conductor of the Milan Scala - follower of Toscanini and De Sabata - and was regarded to be one of the great conductors of his time. Already at the age of 23 he conducted "La Traviata" by Giuseppe Verdi in the Theatro Coccia di Novara and in 1945 the famous orchestra of the Scala in the Cortile Ducale. At the age of 28 he was meeting Toscanini who was taking him with him to the U.S.A. and guided him to the doors of world fame.
 In 1956 Guido Cantelli lost his life on the way to a series of concerts with the New York Philharmonic orchestra when the Italian aircraft failed to start on the airport Orly.
