Nullo Romani

Between 1923 and 1928, he recorded dozens of records with Columbia. In 1925, he also recorded eight titles in two sessions with Victor. Romani's recordings usually featured him as a solo violinist, accompanied by guitar or mandolin and guitar. Starting in 1926, he fronted an entire orchestra. On some of his latest recordings, from 1928, he stars together with his friend, Italian tenor Raoul Romito, on others, he fronts an orchestra that features a Hawaiian guitar or even a musical saw. Nullo Romani composed numerous songs, often with titles in Southern Italian dialect, such as "Asciari Un Capidduzzu" (1920) or "'A Mulinara" (1921).
