Title: Vincenzo Ferroni (1858-1934)

I don't see this unsung mentioned elsewhere.  I just stumbled across a recording released back in November by  La Bottega Discantica of Ferroni's Violin Sonata in F and Piano Trio in D, opus 54 coupled with a Piano Trio serenata by Zandonai.  Not masterpiece stuff, for sure but very listenable.  I especially enjoyed the lovely slow movement of the Ferroni trio.

BTW there's some information on him online (in Italian) at the websites Treccani (http://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/vincenzo-ferroni_%28Dizionario-Biografico%29/) and Wikipedia (Italian) (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincenzo_Ferroni) (with similar articles at the French, German and, more briefly at present, Russian Wikipedias. The violin sonata, and the piano trio, are both @IMSLP.)
