| | Arcangelo Corelli |
 | | Arcangelo Corelli, whose name is recognised as one of the greatest in the history of violin playing and composition, and who laid the foundation for all future development of technique, was born in 1653, at Fusignano, near Imola, in the territory of Bologna. |
 | | Corelli at one time sought fame away from home, and he is said to have visited Paris, where Lulli, the chief violinist of {31} that city, exhibited such jealousy and violence that the mild-tempered Corelli withdrew. |
 | | Corelli was buried in princely style in the Pantheon, not far from Raphael's tomb, and Cardinal Ottoboni erected a monument over his grave. |
