Gioacchino Rossini had relevant connections with Spain. In 1831 he was appointed “Maestro Honorario” of the Madrid conservatory. Through his marriage to famous soprano Isabela Colbran, who was also the virtuosic protagonist of a few of his Operas, he became acquainted with Spain’s music. Gioacchino Rossini "Canzonetta spagnola" was composed in 1821 for his wife Isabella Colbran , after that he wrote many pieces in this style.

The Italian pianist GIOVANNI VELLUTI has forged a distinguished international career as soloist, chamber musician and accompanist.
He has enjoyed a particularly important close association with Katia Ricciarelli, whom he has partnered since 1994 in many tours and television broadcasts throughout Europe, America, Africa and the Middle East , and in many television broadcastings. Other leading singers with whom he has worked regularly are Andrea Bocelli, Carlo Lepore, Stefania Bonfadelli, Daniela Dessì, Paolo Bordogna, Roberta Canzian, Gianfranco Cecchele, Manuela Custer, Daniela Pini, Kristian Johansson, Daniela Barcellona, Giacomo Prestia, Rossana Rinaldi, Antonio Salvadori, Gianluca Terranova, and Manuel Zapata.
Velluti was decisively influenced by his encounter with the teacher Rodolpho Caporali, a direct pianistic descendant of Chopin and Thalberg.
