Carlo Franchi (composer)

Carlo Franchi (sometimes given as de Franchi, de Franchis or de Franco, circa 1743 – d. after 1779) was an Italian opera composer known for his opere buffe. He belonged to the Neapolitan school of composers and it is likely that he was born in or near Naples, where his first opera La vedova capricciosa had its premiere in 1765. Subsequent works were performed in Rome, Venice, Mantua, Turin, Florence, and outside Italy in places such as Dresden and Lisbon.

His intermezzo Il barone di Rocca Antica (Rome, 1771), written jointly with Pasquale Anfossi, was influential in the development of opera buffa.
