Giuseppe Verdi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2467 words)
Verdi was born in Le Roncole, a village near Busseto in the Duchy of Parma and Piacenza (now in the province of Parma).
When he was still a child, Verdi's parents moved to Busseto from the province of Piacenza, where the future composer's education was greatly facilitated by visits to the large library belonging to the local Jesuit school.
Returning to Busseto, he became town music master and he gave his first public performance at the home of Antonio Barezzi in 1830, a local merchant and music lover who supported Verdi's musical ambitions in Milan and who invited him to be the music teacher of his daughter, Margherita.
Parmigianino 2003 (231 words)
Busseto was an important medieval agricultural village, situated in a strategic place for the control of the fords on the Po between Lombardia and Emilia and founded in the X century, when the emperor Ottone II conceded the area in feud to the Pallavicino family, a house descended from the Tuscan dynasty of the Obertenghi.
The Pallavicino family made Busseto the capital of their property, and between the XIV and XV they transformed the village into a rich and elegant city in line with the courtly tastes of the time.
Between the Eighteenth and Nineteenth centuries, the centre of Busseto became embellished with stately palaces and churches, weaving an urban fabric worthy of a small capital.
