Luigi Astolfi

He was composer and choreographer of La Encantadora de Madrid, successfully performed in the season 1845–46 at the Teatro Regio in Turin, starring Fanny Cerrito and Arthur Saint-Léon.

•

Astolfi wrote more than fifty works, many of which were performed by the most famous dancers of the time, including Nicola Molinari, Emanuele Viotti, Domenico Ronzani, Fanny Cerrito, and Arthur Saint-Léon.

•

He was premier danseur, of both Italian and Portuguese dancers, at the Royal Theatre of Saint John in Lisbon until the season 1839–40, which was a complete failure for Astolfi.
