Giovanni Antiga (July 29, 1878 – July 11, 1960), also known as Jean Antiga, was an Italian organist and composer. He was born in Miane and he died in Nice.

Career

Born into a family with many children, he was entrusted to the care of his uncle, Leopoldo Antiga. He began to learn music under the tutelage of Ferdinando Battel, the organist at San Michele di Ramera. Battel encouraged him to study at an conservatory. He graduated from conservancies in Pesaro and Milan under the direction of, among other teachers, Antonio Bazzini and Erminia Foltran Carpenè. After graduating, he moved to the French town of Grasse. From 1902 to 1910, he was the director of the cathedral. He held the titles of Professor of Education and Grand Officer of the national academy of Paris.

He married cellist Jenny Motti; they had two daughters, Mireille and Andreina. He and Motti often performed together. He made an annual visit to Miane to perform at the church's organ. The Paris-based Delrieu publishing house has reissued many of his works for piano. One of his compositions has been included in the National Piano Competition in France.
