Giacomo Puccini
Romantic — Early 20th century
Giacomo Puccini was born on 22 December, 1858 in Lucca, North Italy to a family with five generations of musicians. He lost his father when he was five and his uncle Fortunato Magi taught him music though he did not think high of Puccini, considering him to be a poor and undisciplined pupil. When Puccini turned fourteen he was appointed as church organist. His strong determination to become an opera composer overwhelmed him when he saw Verdi’s Aida after walking some 20 kilometers to watch the performance in Pisa
