It is theoretically possible that there might be a Bettini cylinder of 
Italo Campanini (1845-1896) as it is that there might be one of Gayarre 
(1844-1890), but I've never heard more than speculation about such a 
recording. The best source of information would surely be Christian 
Zwarg of Truesound Transfers. His CD of Bettini cylinders (number 1901) 
includes recordings as early as 1897 so no Campanini.

His WWW site, with much to offer in addition to his recordings is at
