Let’s talk about an undervalued composer…
Not “undervalued” in the true sense of the word, but in the collective imagination he’s not the first name that comes to mind.

Gioacchino Antonio Rossini had been the most popular opera composer in history, at least until his retirement in 1829.
Between 1815 and 1823 he produced 20 operas, but the most famous one has been the Barber of Seville. This opera has been the first Italian opera introduced in the USA.

Rossini lived in many cities, he was born in Pesaro, into a family of musicians, than his mother took him to Bologna. In adult age, after living in Florence, he settled in Paris.

If you want to visit his tomb you have to come in Florence, to the Basilica di Santa Croce,  were his remains were moved after his death.
To keep the point, you can accommodate at Rossini Harmony Bed and Breakfast, in the centre of Florence.

The 2009 edition, the 75th, will start on January 13th ‘til January 16th in Fortezza Da Basso and promises to be full of events and news, despite the period of economical crisis we’re living.

Besides the 3rd edition of Woman Pre-Collection, the salon dedicated to women’s fashion in order to become a very important business appointment, there will be many key previews and exhibitions, like Oliviero Toscani’s one, at the Stazione Leopolda, where the Tuscan photographer creates a dialogue between Work and the industry of fashion.

This is only a little part of the events that will take place in Florence in January, a wonderful period to visit the city if you love fashion and art and their connections.

The main problem, in this period, is finding an accommodation in Florence: hotels are crowded with businessmen that have booked the previous year.
