Today's protagonist is Baldassare Galluffi, a composer born on the Venetian island of Burano.
He started out as an orthodox opera seria, but drifted towards buffa and is called the father of comic opera,
He spent most of his life in religious positions, playing the keyboard and composing at the same time.
As he grew older, he turned away from the secular and devoted himself exclusively to sacred music.
He battled his illness for two months before dying, but he remained faithful to the end,
the Christmas Mass in St Mark's Basilica.
His funeral, then, is a solemn affair in the church of San Vitale, with the singing of actors and the presence of many people he has worked with over the years,
in the church of San Vitale, with the singing of actors and many of his friends.
His baptismal name, Balthasar, was the name of one of the three wise men who appeared at the birth of Jesus and presented him with a potion,
which was later linked to the resurrection of Jesus.
When Napoleon invaded Venice, most of his works were scattered,
but I don't think his work will ever be erased.
