Michele Puccini
(Lucca, 27 November 1813 - Lucca, 23 January 1864)

Teacher and composer, son of Domenico Puccini (1772-1815). He began a strict musical education in Lucca under his grandfather Antonio and Marco Santucci and then continued in Bologna under Pilotti (in 1836 he was admitted to the Accademia Filarmonica) and at the Naples conservatory. On his return to Lucca he became a teacher at the Istituto Musicale Pacini, where he was director from 1862. For many years he was also organist at S Martino (a post he took over directly from his grandfather) and a piano teacher at the Istituto femminile di S Ponziano. Michele Puccini was most important as a teacher, having among his pupils Fortunato Magi, Luigi Nerici and Carlo Angeloni. A surviving treatise on counterpoint is evidence of his teaching activity, while a harmony treatise has been lost. He also carried out the first research into the history of music in Lucca, leaving manuscript notes and some published articles; he transmitted his interest in this subject to Nerici. After a few unsuccessful attempts at opera, Michele distinguished himself chiefly as a composer of sacred music, particularly of the massively-scored works for the traditional S Croce celebrations. A mottettone of 1845 is especially outstanding. Besides the celebrated Giacomo Puccini (1858-1924), Michele Puccini had another musician son, Domenico Michele (1864-1891), who studied at the Milan Conservatory and emigrated in October 1889. He lived at Buenos Aires, Juiuy (as a teacher) and Rio de Janeiro, and is known to have composed.
