Gioachino Antonio Rossini (1792 – 1868) was a popular Italian composer who wrote 39 operas as well as sacred music and chamber music. His best known works include Il Barbiere di Siviglia (The Barber of Seville), La Cenerentola and Guillaume Tell (William Tell).
He was born into a family of musicians in Pesaro, a town on the Adriatic coast of Italy.
His father Giuseppe was a horn player and inspector of slaughterhouses. His mother Anna was a singer and baker's daughter.
Rossini's parents began his musical training early, and by the age of six he was playing the triangle in his father's band.
He was known almost as well as a gastronome and had many dishes named for him, notably Tournedos Rossini; as well as eggs, chicken, soup, salad, cannelloni, sole, risotto, pheasant and more. Escoffier was responsible for many of these, and Charles Ranhofer created Meringued pancakes à la Rossini.
