"Giuseppe Verdi" Conservatory of Music Milan
Giuseppe Verdi was not admitted to the Milan Conservatory, so at the beginning he did not want it to be named after him. "If they didn't want me alive, they won't have my name even after death." This gives you the idea of the Maestro "grumpy "and one-of-a-kind character.
