Jean-Baptiste Lully (] ; born Giovanni Battista Lulli ] ; 28 November 1632 – 22 March 1687) was an Italian-born French composer, instrumentalist, and dancer who spent most of his life working in the court of Louis XIV of France.
 He is considered a master of the French baroque style.
 Lully disavowed any Italian influence in French music of the period.
 He became a French subject in 1661.
Jean-Philippe Rameau (] ; (1683--)25 1683 – (1764--)12 1764 ) was one of the most important French composers and music theorists of the Baroque era.
 He replaced Jean-Baptiste Lully as the dominant composer of French opera and is also considered the leading French composer for the harpsichord of his time, alongside François Couperin.
Thésée ("Theseus") is an opera by the French composer Jean-Joseph de Mondonville, first performed at Fontainebleau on 7 November 1765.
 It takes the form of a "tragédie en musique" in five acts.
 The opera is a new setting of a libretto by Philippe Quinault, originally set by Jean-Baptiste Lully in 1675.
 Mondonville's version was not a success and did not get to enjoy its public premiere at the Paris Opera until 13 January 1767, but audience rejected it calling for the restoration of Lully's original music.
 Mondonville's opera was withdrawn for good after its fourth performance.
Thésée ("Theseus") is a "tragédie en musique", an early type of French opera, in a prologue and five acts with music by Jean-Baptiste Lully and a libretto by Philippe Quinault based on Ovid's "Metamorphoses".
 It was first performed on 11 January 1675 by the Paris Opera for the royal court at the Château de Saint-Germain-en-Laye and was first performed in public in April at the Théâtre du Palais-Royal in Paris.
Nino Frank (born 27 June 1904 in Barletta, Italy − Paris, 17 August 1988) was an Italian-born French film critic and writer who was most active in the 1930s and 1940s.
 Frank is best known for being the first film critic to use the term "film noir" to refer to 1940s US crime drama films such as "The Maltese Falcon," although research indicates that the term was used in French film reviews and newspaper articles in 1938 and 1939.
Jules Danilo (born 18 May 1995 in Milan, Italy) is an Italian-born French Grand Prix motorcycle racer.
 He has also previously competed in the French 125cc/Moto3 championship – twice finishing as runner-up in the series – and the CEV Moto3 series.
Pietro Paolo Savorgnan di Brazzà, then known as Pierre Paul François Camille Savorgnan de Brazza (26 January 1852 – 14 September 1905), was an Italian-born French explorer.
 With the backing of the Société de Géographie de Paris, he opened up for France entry along the right bank of the Congo that eventually led to French colonies in Central Africa.
 His easy manner and great physical charm, as well as his pacific approach among Africans, were his trademarks.
 Under French colonial rule, the capital of the Republic of the Congo was named Brazzaville after him and the name was retained by the post-colonial rulers.
Gluck set the same libretto Philippe Quinault had written for Lully in 1686, based on Torquato Tasso's "Gerusalemme liberata" ("Jerusalem Delivered").
 Gluck seemed at ease in facing French traditions head-on when he composed "Armide".
 Lully and Quinault were the very founders of serious opera in France and "Armide" was generally recognized as their masterpiece, so it was a bold move on Gluck's part to write new music to Quinault's words.
 A similar attempt to write a new opera to the libretto of "Thésée" by Jean Joseph de Mondonville in 1765 had ended in disaster, with audiences demanding it be replaced by Lully's original.
 By utilizing "Armide", Gluck challenged the long-standing and apparently inviolable ideals of French practice, and in the process he revealed these values capable of renewal through "modern" compositional sensitivities.
 Critical response and resultant polemic resulted in one of those grand imbroglios common to French intellectual life.
 Gluck struck a nerve in French sensitivities, and whereas "Armide" was not one of his more popular works, it remained a critical touchstone in the French operatic tradition and was warmly praised by Berlioz in his "Memoirs".
 Gluck also set a minor fashion for resetting Lully/Quinault operas: Gluck's rival Piccinni followed his example with "Roland" in 1778 and "Atys" in 1780; in the same year, Philidor produced a new "Persée"; and Gossec offered his version of "Thésée" in 1782.
 Gluck himself is said to have been working on an opera based on "Roland", but he abandoned it when he heard Piccinni had taken on the same libretto.
