Composer
Gioachino Rossini
| 1792-1868Gioachino Antonio Rossini was an Italian composer who is best known today for his operas. Rossini celebrated his first major successes in Venice in 1813 with the opera seria Tancredi and the opera buffa L'italiana in Algeri. The following years continued this success story. From 1830 onwards, Rossini largely withdrew from public life. Although he still composed many works, including the Stabat mater, he devoted most of his time to eating and enjoying life. During his lifetime, Rossini enjoyed enormous fame throughout Europe, but also, thanks to his apparently humorous and affectionate character, popularity among many of his colleagues. Personal details
