Does anyone know of a black country connection to the pianist Alberto Semprini born 1908 in Bath - I have been told that he was married to a local black country girl, anyone else heard this?

"Alberto Fernando Riccardo Semprini, OBE (1908-90) was born in Bath of Anglo-Italian parentage and was a popular figure in concert (I have happy memories of his playing in the opening concert of the Doncaster Arts Festival in 1966) and on radio. He produced many arrangements for piano or piano and orchestra; his compositions included Variations on a Boogie for piano solo, songs and the Mediterranean Concerto, celebrated as the signature tune for his long-running (from 1957) radio programme, "Semprini Serenade".
