Tomaselli

Tomaselli is an Austrian family with several noted artists during the late 18th and 19th centuries.

It is descended from Giuseppe (also known as Joseph) Tomaselli (1758–1836),[1] who was born in Rovereto in the Prince-Bishopric of Trento, which later in his lifetime belonged to Austria and which is now in Italy. After studying music in Milan, he immigrated to Salzburg in 1781 to become a noted court chapel singer and music teacher in Salzburg and later in Vienna. Joseph Tomaselli was married to Antonia Honikel (1775–1846), a native of Landersdorf. They were the parents of Franz Tomaselli (1801–1846), who was a noted actor and comedian in Vienna; of Karl Tomaselli (1809–1887), who founded a famous coffee shop in Salzburg which still exists; of Ignaz Tomaselli (1812–1862), who was a prominent comedian and singer; and of Katharina Tomaselli (1811–1857), who was an opera singer and who was the mother of the actress and theatre director Josephine Gallmeyer (1838–1884).[2][3]

A member of the family is the historian Sylvana Tomaselli, the wife of George Windsor, Earl of St Andrews and daughter-in-law of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent. Her father Maximilian Karl Tomaselli was born in Salzburg.
