Important Italian composer (1792–1868) who became one of the seminal figures in the history of opera with such repertoire staples as the Barber of Seville and William Tell. Partially printed DS, in Italian, one page, 10.5 x 4, March 23, 1853. A financial document involving the transfer of 700 “Neapolitan ducats.” In fine condition, with soft folds, light edge wear with a few chips, wax seal remnants with some associated small tears, and faint show-through from ink notations on reverse, not at all detracting from the bold, clear signature. COA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
