Puccini Antonio Domenico Michele secondo Maria Giacomo was born in Lucca (Northern Italy) into a family of hereditary musicians, including artists, educators and composers. Orphaned 5-year-old Giacomo was a hereditary post of organist to the proviso that until he grows up, it temporarily takes Alberto Franchetti, which later became a famous composer in Italy. Original music by Puccini got in Lucca in the Music Institute. J. Pacini. In the year 1877 was fulfilled his first choral work. In 1880, Puccini enrolled at the Milan Conservatory. His life during this period was the source for the plot of the opera La Bohème. The hostess didn't allow him not only to play in the evenings, but also heat the stove not to spoil furniture. one of the teachers was the famous composer Puccini, Amilcare Ponchielli, author of the Opera "La Gioconda".
