He was born at Genoa on the 25th of October 1815.
He was a pupil of Paganini. He also studied with Restano, Giacomo Costa and Dellepiane.
From 1827 Sivori began the career of a travelling virtuoso, which lasted almost without interruption until 1864. He played Mendelssohn's concerto for the first time in England in 1846, and was in England again in the seasons of 1851 and 1864. He lived for many years in Paris, and died in Genoa on February 18, 1894.
He collaborated with composers of his day, including Franz Liszt. He played the first performance of Luigi Cherubini's "Requiem" in E minor.
He owned many valuable instruments, including violins by Amati, Stradivari, Bergonzi, Chiocchi, and Jean Baptiste Vuillaume. His favourite was the Vuillaume violin, which he received from Paganini. It was an impeccably close copy of Paganini's famous Cannone Guarnerius.
