Important Italian composer (1792–1868) who became one of the seminal figures in the history of opera with such repertoire staples as The Barber of Seville and William Tell. ALS in Italian, one page, 8.25 x 8.5, no date but circa late 1830s. Rossini regrets not being able to take advantage of the hospitality of his ‘dear marquis and friend’ at Rimini this year—his health obliges him instead to take the waters at a spa, which will deprive him of the famous brodetti [fish soups] that he loves so much. Also addressed in Rossini’s hand on the reverse of the second integral page. Intersecting folds and scattered light staining, otherwise fine condition. A lovely reference to the composer’s well known love for fine food.
