Venanzio Rauzzini (19 December 1746 – 8 April 1810) was an Italian castrato, composer, pianist, singing teacher and concert impresario.He is said to have first studied singing under a member of the Sistine Chapel Choir.
He was a cantante soprano at the Socio Accademico of the Accademia di Santa Cecilia in Rome.He studied with Giuseppe Santarelli in Rome.
Though unlikely, it has been suggested that Rauzzini may not in fact have been a castrato, but rather had an endocrine condition that prevented his voice from breaking, hence his many affairs as he was thought to be "safe".
That said, scholars such as Paul Rice and Brianna Robertson-Kirkland refute this idea.
