Parlem de Pintura...
Gaetano Chierici (Reggio nell'Emilia, 1 de juliol de 1838 - Reggio nell'Emilia, 16 de gener de 1920) va ser un pintor italià. Es va formar a partir del 1850 a l'escola de belles arts de la seva vila natal. Des d'allà es va traslladar a Modena i posteriorment a Florència on va continuar la seva formació. Finalment, es va traslladar a Bolonya on va estudiar amb Giulio Cesare Ferrari. A partir d'aleshores, va iniciar la seva carrera com a pintor especialitzant-se en pintura de temàtica de gènere i costumista amb escenes de la vida quotidiana caracteritzades per un realisme quasi fotogràfic. Els seus primers treballs van mostrar, també, una primerenca influència neoclàssica heretada del seu oncle Alfonso Chierici i del pintor Adeodato Malatesta si bé ràpidament es va impregnar de l'essència dels pintors Macchiaioli. El 1869, i després de participar en les exposicions d'art de l'Acadèmia de Belles Arts de Brera, va assolir un ressò notable rebent diversos encàrrecs així com l'aprovació general de la crítica. A partir del 1882 i fins el 1907 va ser el director de l'escola de dibuix de Reggio Emilia, ciutat on va morir el gener de 1920.

Parlem de Música...
Pavlos Carrer [Παύλος Καρρέρ] (Ζάκυνθος, 12 de maig de 1829 - Ζάκυνθος, 7 de juny de 1896) va ser un compositor grec. Es va formar a la seva ciutat natal amb Giuseppe Cricca (c.1815-1887), Francesco Mirangini i possiblement a Corfu amb Mantzaros. El 1850, es va traslladar a Milà on va continuar la seva formació amb Raimondo Bosserone, Tassistri i Winter. Va ser allà precisament on va estrenar les seves primeres òperes al Teatro Carcano en un temps en què també va compondre gran quantitat de música instrumental, molta d'ella per a piano i flauta. El 1857 va tornar a Grècia on va representar diverses òperes en les quals hi va participar la seva futura esposa, la soprano Isavella Iatra. Tot i algunes dificultats derivades d'un incipient nacionalisme emergent, va continuar a Grècia on va seguir interpretant òperes en teatres d'arreu del país, especialment a Atenes. A partir del 1868 va concentrar la seva activitat en la docència en un temps en què també va assumir la presidència de la Societat Filharmònica de Zakynthos. Amb el temps, el seu nom es va convertir en tota una referència al seu país sent considerat el compositor grec més important del segle XIX. Carrer va morir a Zakynthos el juny de 1896.
