(October 9 or 10, 1813, Le Roncole [Parma] — January 27, 1901, Milan) Italian composer. He primarily composed operas. The chorus 'Va, pensiero, sull'ali dorate' from Nabucodonosor (Nabucco), premiered in 1842, is so beloved that it is often called Italy's second national anthem. The 'Triumphal March' from Aida, premiered in 1871, is frequently performed independently. In this piece, special trumpet fanfares are effectively utilized. In Japan, this piece is also famous as a soccer cheering song. Although few in number, he also composed instrumental works such as the String Quartet.
