Giacomo Puccini[n 1] (22 December &#;&#; 29 November )[1] was an Italian composer known primarily for his operas.
Regarded as the greatest and most successful proponent of Italian opera after Verdi, he was descended from a long line of composers, stemming from the late Baroque era. Though his early work was firmly rooted in traditional late-nineteenth-century Romantic Italian opera, it later developed in the realistic verismo style, of which he became one of the leading exponents.
His most renowned works are La bohème ( Giacomo Puccini - Wikipedia VEFUS
