Pasquale Bona

Pasquale Bona (Cerignola, November 3, 1808 – Milan, December 2, 1878) was an Italian composer. He studied music in Palermo. He composed a number of operas, including one based on the Schiller play that would later inspire Giuseppe Verdi's Don Carlos. Bona later taught at the Conservatory in Milan, where he counted among his pupils Amilcare Ponchielli, Arrigo Boito, Franco Faccio and Alfredo Catalani; he was also friends with Alessandro Manzoni.

gollark: Interesting. I'd expect that to be CPU-constrained. And also cached in RAM
gollark: The read/write performance boost is dubiously useful for most applications.
gollark: Still probably worth it.
gollark: I bought a 240GB SSD when they were still £80.
gollark: Although I doubt JEI is very resource-intensive and you somewhat need it.
