His rejection of the traditional Italian opera for integrated scenes and unified acts earned him fame. He was born on October 9, 1813, in the 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.

There, he began studying musical composition. In 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.

Verdi composed operas much in the style of 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.
