Giovanni Pacini

Giovanni Pacini (Composer)

Born: 17th February 1796, Catania, Italy

Died: 6th December 1867, Pescia, Italy

Nationality: Italian

Giovanni Pacini was an Italian composer, best known for his operas. Pacini was born in Catania, Sicily, the son of the buffo Luigi Pacini, who was to appear in the premieres of many of Giovanni's operas. The family was of Tuscan origin, living in Catania when the composer was born.

His first 25 or so operas were written when Gioachino Rossini dominated the Italian operatic stage. But Pacini's operas were "rather superficial", a fact which, later, he candidly admitted in his Memoirs.
