Antoniotto (Antoniotti), Giorgio 1692-1776 Italy, Milan - Milan
cellist, lived in Holland for a few years and in London for over 20 years (possibly to be interpreted as several stays at London during his travels over a period of 20 years), c1770 he returned to Milan where he gave Giovenale Sacchi (1726-1789) a scheme of one of his theories
[all according to Fetis and copied but not confirmed by subsequent sources]

[recently a baptismal record of Giorgio Antoniotti, born 1680 baptized 10.may.1681, has been found in San Matthia della Moneta Milan, which is believed to be his, which is doubtful because it would imply he published his treatise aged 80 and was still traveling between England and Milan aged 86 ; Samuel Pegge 'Anonymia, or ten centuries of observations on various authors and subjects' John Nichols and Son, London 1809 says he died at Calais 1766 which might be a confusion with the ship arrival place from England and the year he left England returning to Milan]
