Copyright problem removed[edit]

Prior content in this article duplicated one or more previously published sources. The material was copied from: http://www.oft.it/eng/bio_organico.php?bio=810. Copied or closely paraphrased material has been rewritten or removed and must not be restored, unless it is duly released under a compatible license. (For more information, please see "using copyrighted works from others" if you are not the copyright holder of this material, or "donating copyrighted materials" if you are.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or published material; such additions will be deleted. Contributors may use copyrighted publications as a source of information, and according to fair use may copy sentences and phrases, provided they are included in quotation marks and referenced properly. The material may also be rewritten, but only if it does not infringe on the copyright of the original or plagiarize from that source. Therefore such paraphrased portions must provide their source. Please see our guideline on non-free text for how to properly implement limited quotations of copyrighted text. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with these policies. Thank you. Voceditenore (talk) 09:55, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Cherry-picked quotes removed[edit]

I have removed the entire section. Not only was it contrary to Wikipedia guidelines on over-quotation, the use of only quotes of praise taken out of context and copied from the subject's website with no links to the original sources is purely promotional and unencyclopedic. The ones which purport to be personal comments of praise but are unpublished anywhere else are doubly inappropriate. However, I am copying below truncated versions the quotes (most of them not in English) which claim to be from published sources as they can indicate where reliable sources could be found to verify other aspects of the biography and works list.

Third Coast Daily, about Rimedi per l'anima.... (David Bohn, 15 April 2013)
La Repubblica: "R (un ritratto per pianoforte e orchestra) è un ampio lavoro in cinque movimenti... (Angelo Foletto, 7 April 2013)
Il Giornale della Musica: "La musica di Campogrande è felice nell’invenzione e nelle combinazioni compositive..." (no date or author given)
Il Fronimo: "I Preludi a getto d'inchiostro sono schizzi in cui l'autore evoca i riferimenti..." (no date or author given)

Finally, I have tagged this article for multiple clean up issues which need to be addressed:

It is in serious need of copyediting for neutral, encyclopedic style and idiomatic English.
It has zero references apart from an external link to the subject's website. It needs inline citations to published reliable sources which are entirely independent of the subject.
The article, and especially the works list is full of overlinking.
