Life

Corsini studied the arts at the Accademia Clementina in Bologna.

When Corsini was invited to work as a theater decorator in St. Petersburg in 1802, he traveled to St. Petersburg and in March 1802 signed a three-year contract to work in the Italian Theater, which gave his performances in the St. Petersburg Bolshoi Theater . A year later he signed a new contract for work in all imperial theaters with a salary of 5000 rubles a year. Apart from decorations, he had to provide drawings and models of theater machines.

In 1805 Corsini was particularly successful in setting up an opera by Catterino Cavos . Together with Pietro Gonzaga , Corsini furnished ballets by Charles-Louis Didelot (1806 and 1809).

In September 1811, the Council of Professors of the Imperial Academy of Arts elected Corsini, B. Medici and F. Torricelli as members ( academics ) of the Academy of Arts for their well-known art of decorative painting . This year Corsini exhibited two perspective pictures at the Academy exhibition.

Corsini was married to Yekaterina Karlowna (1791-1857). Corsini was buried in the Volkovo Lutheran Cemetery in St. Petersburg.

In 1853, Corsini's son Geronimo Corsini gave the Academy of Arts an album of 20 watercolors and drawings by his father from 1803-1813, which is kept in the Russian Museum .
