Victor Piaggio
Victor Piaggio ( Victorio Piaggio , * 1864 in Uruguay , † 1922 in Buenos Aires ) was an Argentine conductor and music teacher of Italian descent.
It is believed that Victor Piaggio was the descendant of members of the Genoese merchant and industrialist family Piaggio, who were shipwrecked on the voyage to Buenos Aires off the coast of Uruguay and stayed in that country. Piaggio went to Concordia in the Argentine province of Entre Rios and worked there as a conductor of a brass band and gave piano, flute and violin lessons as a private teacher.
In 1900 he moved to Buenos Aires and founded the Conservatorio Piaggio there . Of his nine children, Celestino , Leonidas , Amelia , Leonor and Elsa Piaggio became known as musicians and music teachers.
