Born in Verona, Faccio became known as a conductor of Verdi works. He studied music in Milan and after finishing his studies began his career as a composer, writing "I Profughi Fiamminghi" (Milan, 1863) and "Amleto" (Genoa, 1865), the latter being one of the many operas based on Shakespeare's "Hamlet". Both operas failed to achieve success either among the critics or the general public. In 1867 he became director of the Milan Conservatory and in 1872 he was nominated director of Milan's Teatro alla Scala. Faccio conducted the first Italian executions of Verdi's operas "Aida" (1872) and "Otello" (1887), and he was also the conductor of the London premiere of "Otello". Faccio died in Monza at age 51.
