CAPPA, Carlo Alberto, band-master, born in AI-essandria, Sardinia, 9 December, 1834. At the age of ten he became a pupil of the royal academy at Asti (to which only soldiers' sons are admitted), his father having been a major in the Sardinian army. In 1849 he enlisted in the band of the 6th lancers, and six years later in the United States navy, shipping on board the frigate "Congress" at Genoa. He arrived in New York 22 February, 1858. In 1860 he entered the 7th regiment band, of which he has been the leader since 1881, playing 1st trombone for seven years during that period, beginning with 1869, in Thomas's orchestra.
