VINCI, LEONARDO (1690-173o)

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 92 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VAN-VIR
VINCI, LEONARDO (1690-173o) , Italian musical composer, was
born
  at Strongoli in
Calabria
  in 1690 and educated at Naples under Gaetano Greco in the Conservatorio dei Poveri di Gesu Cristo. He became known first by his comic operas in
Neapolitan dialect in 1719; he also composed many serious operas. He was received into the
Congregation
  of the Rosary at Formiello in 1728 and died by poisoning in 1730, not 1732, as is generally stated. His comic operas, of which Le Zite 'n Calera (1722) is the best, are full of
life
  and spirit; in his serious operas, of which Didone Abbandonata (Rome, 1728) and Artaserse (Rome, 1730) are the most notable, have an incisive vigour and directness of dramatic expression deservedly praised by
Burney
 . The well-known air " Vo solcando," from Artaserse, is a good example of his
style
 .
