Radiciotti Giuseppe, *25 January 1858 Jesi, †6 April 1931 Tivoli, Italian musicologist and composer. He studied music in Rome under G. Faini, M. Baffo and F. Puccinelli, and also studied at the faculty of humanities at the local university. From 1881, he taught history at a secondary school in Tivoli, where he soon became headmaster. He collaborated with the journals “Rivista musicale Italiana”, “Rivista della Society Internazionale di Música”, “Il Pianoforte” and “Cronache musicali”. He devoted much of his research to the music of his native Marche region, but his most valuable works include monographs on Pergolesi and Rossini. He composed sacred music as well as songs and pieces for brass bands (for his school).
