Giovanni Battista Draghi was from the town of Pergola, from whence he got his much more famous nickname. His career blazed brightly in the seven years of so between his first published composition and his death from tuberculosis. You wonder what else he might have done given a longer run.
Pergolesi was born on this day in 1710.
