Pietro Generali (Composer)

Born: 23rd October 1773, Masserano, Italy

Died: 3rd November 1832, Novara, Italy

Nationality: Italian

Pietro Generali (born Mercandetti Generali) was an Italian composer primarily of operas and vocal music.

Generali was born in Masserano. He studied counterpoint with Giovanni Masi in Rome and spent a few months at the Conservatoire in Naples. After graduation in Rome Generali began composing sacred music. Having produced his first opera in 1800, his first success came with Pamela nubile (Venice, 1804), followed by other farsa, such as Adelina in 1810.

When Rossini began his rise to prominence, Generali moved first to [[Barcelona], directing the opera company of the Teatre de la Santa Creu (named later the Teatre Principal) and from 1820 conducted and taught in Naples.
