Background
Giacinta Toso was seen singing in Turin by horn player Giovanni Puzzi, (1792-1876), and brought by him to London in 1827, where she succeeded Mme Caradori-Allan at the Italian Opera. They married not long afterwards. When, after contracting rheumatic fever, Giacinta was forced to abandon her career, the Puzzi's remained in London as teachers. They also encouraged musicians from abroad and for 50 years many famous names both British and foreign attended her salons.
