  Giuseppe Verdi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Verdi was born in Le Roncole, a village near Busseto in the Duchy of Parma and Piacenza (now in the province of Parma).
When he was still a child, Verdi's parents moved to Busseto from the province of Piacenza, where the future composer's education was greatly facilitated by visits to the large library belonging to the local Jesuit school.
Returning to Busseto, he became town music master and he gave his first public performance at the home of Antonio Barezzi in 1830, a local merchant and music lover who supported Verdi's musical ambitions in Milan and who invited him to be the music teacher of his daughter, Margherita.

Busseto was an important medieval agricultural village, situated in a strategic place for the control of the fords on the Po between Lombardia and Emilia and founded in the X century, when the emperor Ottone II conceded the area in feud to the Pallavicino family, a house descended from the Tuscan dynasty of the Obertenghi.
The Pallavicino family made Busseto the capital of their property, and between the XIV and XV they transformed the village into a rich and elegant city in line with the courtly tastes of the time.
Between the Eighteenth and Nineteenth centuries, the centre of Busseto became embellished with stately palaces and churches, weaving an urban fabric worthy of a small capital.

Verdi, who had recently lost his wife and a year previously his infant son (another child had died before he left Busseto), was overcome with despair and vowed he would never write another opera.
He responded to local censure by refusing to have anything to do with Busseto and its musical activities, having first scrupulously repaid with interest the contribution made by the commune to his musical education.
In the same year, he was moved by the death of Alessandro Manzoni, the Italian patriot and poet, to compose a requiem mass in his honour, into which he incorporated the final movement he had written for the abortive Rossini mass.

When he was seven he was helping the local church organist; at 12 he was studying with the organist at the main church in nearby Busseto, whose assistant he became in 1829.
He might have taken a post as organist at Monza in 1835, but returned to Busseto where he was passed over as maestro di cappella but became town music master in 1836 and married Margherita Barezzi, his patron's daughter (their two children died in infancy).
