Composer
Amilcare Ponchielli (1834-1886)
Amilcare Ponchielli (Italian pronunciation: [aˌmilkaɾe poŋˈkjɛlli], August 31, 1834 – January 16, 1886) was an Italian composer, largely of operas.
Born in Paderno Fasolaro, now Paderno Ponchielli, near Cremona, Ponchielli won a scholarship at the age of nine to study music at the Milan Conservatory, writing his first symphony by the time he was ten years old.
Two years after leaving the conservatory he wrote his first opera -- it was based on Alessandro Manzoni's great novel The Betrothed (I promessi sposi) -- and it was as an opera composer that he eventually found fame.
