Gioacchino Rossini was raised in a family of music lovers and learned music by reading the scores of Mozart and Haydn. He studied at the prestigious Liceo Musicale of Bologna, where he already had a very good level in horn and singing. There he learned cello, piano, viola and counterpoint, and acquired a great mastery of instrumentation, orchestration and harmonic structuring while working as a rehearsal pianist in the theater. Gioachino Rossini profoundly marked the history of 19th century opera by bringing the Italian bel canto to its peak: he adorned the opera buffa with energetic and brilliant arias endowed with a new naturalness, and developed and innovated orchestral writing, thus preparing the blossoming of romanticism.
