(Vito) Niccolò [Nicola] (Marcello Antonio Giacomo) Piccinni [Piccini]
(1728 - 1800)
Italian composer.
He then embarked on a successful operatic career, writing serious and comic operas for Naples. In 1791, following the withdrawal of his pension because of the Revolution, he left Paris for Naples. From this time on he became known for his fertility as a composer. For this, he had to thank the intervention of the Bishop of Bari, since his father, although himself a musician, was opposed to his son's following the same career.
Despite the disappointment of having the premiere of his Iphigénie en Tauride(1781) delayed until two years after Gluck's, Piccinni had notable success in 1783 with Didon,a revival of Atys(1780), and Le faux lord. During that year he was granted a pension by the French court. [1]

About the composer Niccolò Piccinni
Niccolò Piccinni (January 16, 1728 - May 7, 1800) was an Italian composer of symphonies, sacred music, chamber music, and opera.
In 1771 he became second organist at the royal chapel. From 1773 Piccinni became overshadowed in Rome by Anfossi, but maintained his reputation in Naples with his second setting of Alessandro nelle Indie(1774) and the comedy I viaggiatori(1775). His main area of specialisation was opera. In 1758 he received an operatic commission from Rome; his second opera for Rome, La Cecchina, ossia La buona figliuola(1760) was a great success and established him as the favorite of the Roman public.

Andrea Bernasconi (* 1706 in Marseille; † 24 January 1784 in Munich) was an Italian composer.
Piccinni produced over a hundred operas,[8] but although his later work shows the influence of the French and German stage, he belongs to the conventional Italian school of the 18th century. In Paris his pension was only partially restored, and by the time he was appointed sixth inspector at the Conservatoire, he was already too ill to carry out his duties.

Later he directed the singing instruction at the École royale de musique et de déclamation.It can probably be called the most popular opera buffa of the 18th century...... Sacchini, reported by Burney, claimed Piccinni had written 300 operas, while La Borde and Ginguené gave the more accurate figure of 130.
