Usiglio studied music in Parma, first with Giuseppe Barbacini and then with Giovanni Rossi, before continuing his education in Pisa with Carlo Romani and in Florence with Teodulo Mabellini. At the age of 20 he began his operatic career with some success with La locandiera. He wrote exclusively opere buffe, his most famous being 1879's Le donne curiose after the play byCarlo Goldoni.
Due primarily to his increasing alcoholism, Usiglio was forced to retire as a conductor in 1897.[1] He died in Milan in 1910. His wife was the soprano Clementina Brusa.
