Among his pupils was the American soprano Geraldine Farrar. He died on June 30, 1901 at his birthplace, Fermo, in Italy. During his career, Graziani had faced strong competition on stage from a number of other outstanding Italian baritones. Probably the greatest of his immediate rivals was Roman-born Antonio Cotogni, whose voice was of similar quality and range to Graziani's.
