Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari (1876–1948) was an Italian composer best known for his operas and chamber music, blending German technique with Italian lyricism. Born in Venice to a German father and Italian mother, he studied music in Munich and developed a style that often mixed comedic and dramatic elements. His opera *Il segreto di Susanna* remains a standout in his catalog, charming audiences with its wit and elegance. Beyond opera, Wolf-Ferrari composed orchestral and chamber works, displaying a keen sense of melody and craftsmanship. His music, once overshadowed, is now often revisited for its unique fusion of operatic tradition and symphonic structure.
