Giacomo Puccini (1858-1924), an Italian composer famous for romantic operas like 'La Bohème' and 'Madame Butterfly.'
Proper name of Italian composer from the Puccini family. The name likely derives from a personal name given by medieval Italian ancestors (Puccio, related to 'puccio' meaning cupid or the devil in some dialects).
Puccini's opera 'La Bohème' has been performed more than any other opera in history—and in one famous production, real snow fell on stage during winter performances, making audiences cry because the death scene's cold felt absolutely real.
