What is even MORE funny (Dave wrote the name correctly in the subject) is that is real name is Gaspare Scuderi, and I do not know where the Salvatore credit on Victor came from!That's not the right guy - unless he was writing his songs prenatally ... 'Doreme puri' was published in America in several editions, 1872-1874 ...
A short biography in Italian is available at

Maybe contacting the Trapani conservatory you will find more info

It looks like his name is actually Salvatore Scuderi.Anyone have information, or can point to encyclopedia entry for Italian composer Salvatore Scudero, composer of "Dormi Pure." Thanks to UCSB I found his years listed as "1845-1927" but I can't find anything else about him, on the web or anywhere. thanks,
