Rossini in Lugo
Rossini came to his father’s native town for two years when he was 10 years old. He learned the horn and harpsichord and had a beautiful voice. His uncle wanted to choose him as a castrato, but Gioachino was grateful to his mother all his life for sparing her son from the operation.
He diligently studied Mozart and Haydn in the library of an acquaintance and wrote his first works (string quartets) in Lugo at the age of 12. Two years later they moved to Bologna.
