MANZO'LI (Giovanni), an opera-finger of the firft: 
order, was born at Florence; and was, during many years, 
the firft finger in Italy. When the court ot Spain deter¬ 
mined on having Italian operas performed under the di¬ 
rection of Farinelli, Manzoli was engaged for the princi¬ 
pal man’s part. From Madrid he went to Vienna, at the 
celebration of the emperor Jofeph’s firft marriage. He ar¬ 
rived in England in 1764, at which period the lerious 
opera acquired a degree of favour to which it had feldom 
mounted fince its firft eftablilhment in this country. 
Manzoli’s voice was the rnoft powerful and voluminous 
foprano that had been heard on our ftage fince the time of 
Farinelli ; and his manner of iinging was grand, and full 
or tafte and dignity. The lovers of mulic in London 
were more .unanimous in approving his voice and talents 
than thofe of any other finger of the laft century. He 
was moreover a good aftor, though unwieldy in figure, 
and not well made in perfon ; neither was he young when 
he arrived in London ; yet the fenfations he excited feem 
to have been more irrefiftible and univerfal than we have 
ever been witnefs to in any theatre. This great finger re¬ 
mained in England but one feafon. He returned to Italy ; 
and died at Florence in 1791.
