Note 62 — Chapter VI
Emily Hill translation
Signore Soliva, an Italian by birth, went to the Warsaw Conservatoire in 1821 as singing master. When the institution was closed by the Russian Government, he migrated first to St. Petersburg, then to Paris, where he died, in 1851. Soliva composed the operas, “La Testa di bronzo,” “Elena e Mauvina,” and several smaller works.
