Vincenzo Bellini, an Italian composer
Born into a musical family in Sicily, Bellini was musical prodigy as a child.
His works included the lyrical operas La Sonnambula (The Sleepwalker) (1831), Norma (1831), and I Puritani (The Puritans) (1835).His works are noted for their flowing melodic lines, lyrical charm, and elegance.
Bellini is one of the most noted opera composers of the bel canto tradition (that is, opera featuring the Italian vocal style of the 18th and early 19th centuries - an agile, flexible style, often with florid ornamentation and fast scales and cadenzas known as coloratura.

'John Rosselli's excellent book traces the composer's life from his birth in Catania in 1801 to his death from amoebic dysentery outside Paris in 1835. It does so, lucidly, sensibly and with an admirable lack of padding. In a very few pages, John Rosselli has done for Bellini what William Ashbrook and Herbert Weinstock took three times the length to do for Donizetti.' -- The Times Literary Supplement
