Timoteo Pasini

Although no longer in the repertoire, his operas Imelda de' Lambertazzi and Giovanna Grey had considerable success in their day.

Pasini was born in Ferrara and studied first in his native city under Padre Zaccagneni, a former monk, then in Rome under Basili and in Naples under Mercadante.

Imelda de' Lambertazzi (libretto by Camillo Boari) premiered in 1850 at the Teatro Bonacossi in Ferrara.

[3] He also composed two Masses and many pieces of church music, marches, songs, fantasias, and piano transcriptions.

In Argentina, he composed a funeral march for Giuseppe Garibaldi which was first played in Buenos Aires on 18 June 1882 by a 200 piece band.
