Rossini’s parents were both musicians, and lived in Bologna, Italy. His father was a horn player and his mother was a singer, and they both taught their son. It is known that Rossini sang in at least one opera when he was a boy. His career as a composer began early in his life, when, at age 18, he wrote a one-act opera which was performed in Venice.
