Rossini Home - Florence

Gioachino Rossini's home is on Via Camillo Cavour in Florence, Italy.  It was here the famed composer lived from 1851 to 1855.  His time in Florence was the least productive of his career.  Having completed his last opera in 1829 he devoted the next twenty years to revising his previous pieces, without composing much new work.  He was living in Bologna when revolution broke out and, not being a supporter of the cause, decided to leave the city.  He, along with his wife, Olympe, came to Florence in 1851 and moved into what is now called the Hotel Casci, where they lived until 1855.  Rossini moved to Paris that same year where he lived until his death in 1868.
