First name

The German wiki article calls him Giacomo Cervetto; see http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giacomo_Cervetto

Perhaps there is an article in New Grove; I will check...--FeanorStar7 (talk) 08:25, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Birth place

Which is the source of the information that Giacobbe Basevi was born in Livorno? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bettina Hoffmann Lausberg (talk • contribs) 10:36, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Bettina. I can find no source which gives his birth place as Livorno. According to his Library of Congress Authority file, The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians lists "Venice (?)". The article was also very poorly referenced. I've added 2 reliable sources and removed Livorno from the article. Voceditenore (talk) 12:35, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Voceditenore, thank you but I see that both in the article in English and in Italian the birthplace is still indicated as Livorno. --Bettina Hoffmann Lausberg (talk) 06:02, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bettina. There was a lot of subsequent to-ing and fro-ing in the article with Livorno re-added in 2017. I have now removed Livorno and clarified information about his putative birth place referenced to Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani, Grove, and The Palgrave Dictionary of Anglo-Jewish History with links to the articles. The Italian WP article is referenced solely to this 1931 entry in the Enciclopedia Italiana which does not state his birthplace at all. Voceditenore (talk) 16:21, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Voceditenore, thank you! Now I will ask the same question in the Italian version too --Bettina Hoffmann Lausberg —Preceding undated comment added 16:37, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
