Gastone Limarilli (1927-1998) was a brilliant spinto tenor, with an extraordinarily wide repertoire, covering the dramatic Puccini and Verdi roles, as well as a more nearly bel canto repertoire consisting of Rossini and Bellini operas. His voice was clear and powerful, with a much "whiter" sound than the typical darker-voiced tenors who more commonly sang the big Verdi and Puccini roles. His voice had a steely sound, perhaps somewhat reminiscent of early Giovanni Martinelli.
