A fact from Egidio Duni appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 25 January 2009, and was viewed approximately 189 times (disclaimer) (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that composer Egidio Duni was particularly influential in creating a new genre of opera which blended Italian opera elements with traditional French ones?
I have reverted to the version with Duni as French not Italian. This is in line with the Oxford Dictionary of Opera entry. If anyone has better information please put it forward. Kleinzach02:28, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I see Duni has been turned back into an Italian although we have two stubs - one for an Italian composer and one for a French composer. Can the editors involved please explain? - Kleinzach23:26, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I know this is an old conversation but I think my recent expansion of the article explains this. Grove calls him an Italian composer. Duni is ethnically Italian and began his career in Italy. He later lived and worked in France and it is for his French operas that he is chiefly remembered today.Nrswanson (talk) 01:21, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
