The famous composer Gioacchino Rossini studied literature and music in Bologna and was trained by his father in singing, solfeggio and the harpsichord. Rossini soon showed his musical talent and, once he had found success and fame, left Bologna to travel in Italy and Europe. He returned to Bologna where he had a house built (1824-27) at number 26, Strada Maggiore where he lived for about 20 years, this time was fulfilling for Rossini artistically speaking and was also a very difficult period of his life. This being a private property it can be viewed from outside only.
