Gioacchino Rossini arranged for his admission to the city's Accademia Filarmonica .

In 1846 Catherine Hayes sang the world premiere of his opera Alberigo da Romano here . With the opera Fernando Cortez in 1852 at La Fenice he could not assert himself alongside Verdi's Rigoletto . His fourth opera is Ildegonda di Borgogna (also under the title Attila ).
