Emilio Battaglia (30-06-1917 - 04-09-2011) Italian composer

Emilio Battaglia was a twomover specialist, as can be seen in the first example below. He composed at least one selfmate in two (second diagram). He seems to have had two composing periods: in the 1930s and in the 1980-1990s.
He was a professor of botany at the University of Pisa (source here ) thanks to Alain Pallier).
