Gioachino Rossini
Gioachino Rossini was an Italian composer famous for his popular operas. He wrote 30 of them. Rossini knew what he was passionate about and reached for his dreams. Even through unsettling events as a child, Rossini continued to strive to be the greatest opera composer he could be. An interesting fact about him is that he loved to joke around and play tricks on his friends – this even comes across sometimes in his music.
