today from throat infection following
an operation.
Puccini was born AT Lucia, Italy.
June p. 1858. He had two hobbies and
at least one superstition. The former
were shooting qaail and wild pigeons
and writing niusic ard the latter was
that he must finish the writing Of an
opera at the place where il was begun.
Coming from a family which for
century and half produced an unin.
terrupted line of famous musicians. il
was not surprising that Giacomo Puc-
cini early showed signs OF precocious
musical talents.
The great-great grandfather Of Puc-
cini. born in lTl2 wrote church music
that was highly respected and was the
master 0f Guglielmi His son, Antonio,
born in l747. was less famous as com
poser than as theorist. while Domen-
leo. the third in line. born in l77l, at
tained distinction as church composer
but was more famous for his operas.
His son Michele. father of Giacomo won
fame for his sacred music.
- Ccini was one Of the few recent
composers whose opera successes were
both numerous and lasting. As to num-
beis he is matched only by Nass-aer.
