Years ago, the art song "Se tu m'ami, se tu sospiri" was attributed to
Pergolesi. More recently, it has been attributed and/or accredited to
Parisotti.
How was it believed that Pergolesi composed this piece in the first place?
Also, how and when was it concluded that it was Parisotti who composed it?

Incidentally, as I've found out that mezzo-sopranos, sopranos, tenors, and
baritones have recorded this piece, I'm curious: Was "Se tu m'ami" written for
any particular voice range/register in mind?

Female - the text has a female point of view.

Why attribute it to Pergolesi? He was famous, Parisotti not. It's a
rather common occurrence. Rossini "composed" the Cat Duet years after
his death. Donizetti "composed" the aria "Angelo casto e bel" for
the premiere of "Il Duca D'Alba" 26 years after his death!?!?!
