Catania | Bellini the Sicilian

Vincenzo Bellini maintained throughout his life a strong bond with his hometown, where he lived till the age of 16.

Bellini | A love and death story I Capuleti e i Montecchi

So much so that the many embellishments, counterbalanced by a well-defined melodic core, are not ornamentation anymore but start to take an expressive connotation.
