integrated scenes and unified acts earned him

community of Le Rencole, near Busseto in the
province of Parma, Italy.

His mother, Luigia Uttini, worked as a spinner, and

his father, Carlo Giuseppe Verdi, made a living as a
local inkeeper.
Verdi first developed musical talents at a young age,
after moving with his family from Le Roncole to the
neighboring town of Busseto.

1832, Verdi applied for admission at the Milan
Conservatory, but was rejected due to his age.
Subsequently, he began studying under Vincenzo
Lavigna, a famous composer from Milan.

the earlier Italian Bel canto works (the operas
of Donizetti being the most influential).

He continued to grow and develop his dramatic

and musical talent throughout his life.
He wrote operas which are still considered
today to be among the very finest in the entire
Italian operatic repertoire.
Verdi continually developed these forms and
structures, and was able to create highly
individual and dramatic works of art through his
continued experimentation with harmony and
orchestration.

With the death of national Italian poet Alessandro

Manzoni in 1874, Verdi responded with the
composition of his Messa da Requiem, which some
critics still call "Verdi's greatest opera" because of its
passionate and intensely dramatic writing.
