About Franco Alfano
Franco Alfano (March 8, 1875 – October 27, 1954) was an Italian composer and pianist best known for completing Puccini's unfinished opera Turandot in 1926. He was born in Posillipo, near Naples. Until recent times, musical histories usually gave the year of Alfano's birth, incorrectly, as 1876. He attended piano privately under Alessandro Longo (1864-1946), and harmony and composition respectively under Camillo de Nardis (1857-1951) and aulo Serrao (1830-1907) at the conservatory San Pietro a Majella in Naples.
