Template:Short description Template:Multiple issues Template:Infobox musical artist
Domenico Salvatori (27 September 1855 – 11 December 1909) along with Alessandro Moreschi, Domenico Mustafà and Giovanni Cesari, was one of the famous castrati singers of the late 19th century.
Born in Anagni, he first started as a contralto at the Cappella Giulia, which he later abandoned in order to enter the Sistine Chapel Choir in 1878 as a now soprano or mezzo.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> He later became secretary of the choir for some years, holding the position under the direction of Lorenzo Perosi. A good friend of Alessandro Moreschi, the pair often visited their contemporary Domenico Mustafà in his retirement.
Salvatori died in Rome.Template:Citation needed He is buried in the Monumental Cimitero di Campo Verano in Alessandro Moreschi's tomb.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>
He, Giovanni Cesari, Vincenzo Sebastianelli, and Alessandro Moreschi made a few phonograph recordings together, but these were only pure choral pieces, and none of them were solo. It is possible to hear him clearly as the contralto voice in a SATB quartet recording of Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina's "La cruda mia nemica" (with Moreschi as soprano).
