Giuseppe Verdi was born in Roncole in 1813, he is the most important Italian opera composer of the nineteenth century, the most celebrated of all time, Verdi set to music 33 works. In them the masterly grasp of the technical and dramatic is put at the service of the expression of intense romantic passions. One of the major works are Rigoletto (1851), The Troubadour (1853) and La Traviata (1853), in his works Verdi faced unconventional themes or even gory, with unsurpassed dramatic talent and great capacity for psychological insight.
