Alessio Arduini was born in Desezano del Garda in Italy. At the age of fifteen, he discovered his love for singing, and studied for several years with Vincenzo Rose. In 2010, he received a scholarship from the Lina Aimaro Bertasi Foundation and then made his debut in the leading role in Don Giovanni in a production by the Como Teatro Soziale. A further production from this company saw him playing the role of Conte d’Almaviva in Le Nozze di Figaro. As Don Giovanni, he has been heard at the Teatro Comunale in Bologna; in the Teatro Ponchielli in Cremona, he sang Riccardo in I Puritani. Further engagements also include Guglielmo (Teatro Regio in Turin and the Teatro La Fenice in Venice), Don Giovanni at the Teatro Petruzzelli and the Teatro Comunal in Bologna as well as Schaunard at the Salzburger Festspielen, La Fenice, in Lucca, Pisa, Livorno and Ravenna. Further performances: Don Giovanni and Guglielmo (La Fenice, Bayerische Staatsoper), Schaunard (ROH Covent Garden, New York Met), Silvano (Scala) and Masetto (Salzburger Festspiele). At the Wiener Staatsoper, where he an ensemble member, he made his debut in 2012 as Masetto and has since then sung, among others, Marcello, Belcore, Guglielmo, Dandini. http://www.wiener-staatsoper.at/Content.Node/home/kuenstler/saengerinnen/arduini.en.php
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
