Carlo Andreoli (8 January 1840 – 22 January 1908) was an Italian pianist.

Carlo Andreoli

He was born in Mirandola, Modena to the musical family of Evangelista Andreoli; his brothers included Guglielmo the Elder and the Younger. He was a pupil at the Milan Conservatory. Like his brother Carlo, he was proficient on piano, and gave well-received concerts in London.[1] However, after 1871, his health confined him to Italy and Southern France, and he became professor of the piano at Milan Conservatory. There his students included Alfredo Catalani and Giuseppe Frugatta [ca]. From 1877-1887, with the help of his brother Guglielmo the Younger, he organized a series of 96 symphonic concerts known as the Società dei Concerti Sinfonici Popolari. He retired in 1891 due to mental illness. He died in 1908 in a shelter for the mentally ill.

A bust of him was placed in Milan Conservatory in 1910.
