Filippo Nudo

November 23, 1945 - August 9, 2022

With deep sadness we announce the passing of Filippo Nudo on August 9th, 2022. Born in Italy 76 years ago to parents Maria and Antonio. He grew up with brother Guiseppe and sisters Rosa and Marie-Lina. Filippo came to Montreal at the age of 8.

Filippo was the devoted husband to Rita Battaglia, loving father to the late Philip, Tony and Mary (Luciano) and the most happy and proud grandfather to Philip, Victoria, Daniela and Massimo.

Filippo had a passion for music and played the Accordion with great skill and love. He was a music teacher, repaired musical instruments and an electronics technician.

Pop we will greatly miss our conversations and deep trust and the look of immense joy on your face every time you saw your grandchildren. Mommy lost a great confidant, companion and best friend.

We will miss you immensely and your memory will live on in our hearts always.

  1. Wishing the entire family my deepest sympathies, may his memory live on in your hearts.

  2. Uncle Filippo had a profound influence on my life. I am forever grateful to him for showing me the value of Art and Science at a very young age. He influenced me as a scientist and as a musician, I will always have those gifts to appreciate and remember. I wanted to tell him thank you for inspiring our family to be musical, as it brought us together where nothing else ever would have. Now, family is a distant memory, but I will always remember what value Filippo and his family (Rita, Filippo jr, Tony, Mary) brought into my life. Everyday is painted by what Filippo brought to the table, and all the appreciation of music touched us deeply, so he will live on inside of us in that way.
    Condolences to the family.

  3. Mon cher ami Filippo, je ne t’oublie pas,
    que les plus belles mélodies murmurent dans ton âme la douceur de l’accordéon et surtout de ton accordéon. Tout le long du chemin jusqu’au paradis de l’accordéon où tu seras accueilli musicalement,
    fredonneront sur ton parcours tes plus beaux airs favoris.
    ton ami et accordéoniste
    Louis De Palo

  4. Offering our deepest condolences to you and all the family for your loss of your brother Philip may he rest in pease in the arms of God 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️

  5. So beautifully said, Yes he was all those things and so much more. His brilliant mind made him master of all that he devoted his attention to . Life did not spare him great sorrows, but he was also given the greatest gifts: a family who loved and cherished him day by day.

    As a teenager he would say that he wanted to be a virtuoso which he did by practising his music for long, long days, year after year. He achieved a level of musical genius that provided him open access to McGill University in the liberal arts while still in high school and teaching at the conservatory, inspiring more young people than we will know. Remember him.

    From Philip’s example I learned that curiosity and dedicated effort bring excellence… And as R.W. Emerson wrote “Do your work and I shall know you. Do your work and you will reinforce yourself.”

    Rest at last in peace, your spirit will always be with us as you’ve left much behind.

  7. Sincere condolences for the family. Filippo will be missed. His spirit lives in our fond memories. Rest in Peace my brother.
