  Domenico Cimarosa (1749-1801)
Cimarosa was a rather unlikely person to become a prominent European composer since there were no other musicians in his family and since he was born into poor circumstances in which musical culture was not nurtured within the home.
Domenico Cimarosa was the son of a stone mason and was born on December 17, 1749 in the small town of Aversa, a village near Naples, Italy.
Cimarosa, in sympathy with their cause, composed a patriotic hymn to a text by Luigi Rossi which was sung on 19 May at the ceremonial burning of the royal flag.

 Domenico Cimarosa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Domenico Cimarosa (December 17, 1749-January 11, 1801), Italian opera composer, was born at Aversa, in the kingdom of Naples.
The organist of the monastery, Padre Polcano, was struck by the boy's intellect, and voluntarily instructed him in the elements of music, and also in the ancient and modern literature of his country.
During the occupation of Naples by the troops of the French Republic, Cimarosa joined the liberal party, and on the return of the Bourbons, was, like many of his political friends, condemned to death.
