Vittorio Rieti (January 28, 1898 – February 19, 1994) was an Jewish-Italian composer. Born in Alexandria, Egypt, Rieti moved to Milan to study economics. He subsequently studied in Rome under Respighi and Casella, and lived there until 1940.[1]
In 1925, he temporarily moved to Paris and composed music for George Balanchine's ballet for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, Barabau.[2]. He met his wife in Alexandria, Egypt. He was a cousin of actor Vittorio Rietti.[citation needed]
He emigrated to the United States in 1940, becoming a naturalized American citizen on 1 June 1944. He taught at the Peabody Conservatoire of Music in Baltimore (1948-49), Chicago Musical College (1950-54), Queens College, New York (1958-60), and New York College of Music (1960-64). He died in New York on 19 February 1994.[1]
His music is tonal and neo-classical with a melodic and elegant style.
