the venerated namesake of this excellent news server (with good article
retention) is of course the great virtuoso violinist and composer . . .
Niccolo Paganini was born to Antonio & Teresa Bocciardo-Paganini at the
house on 38 Passo di Gattamora (8E56:00,44N24:14), Repubblica di Genova
Sunday 27 October 1782 (AA/BR). Chiesa San Salvatore (8E55:53,44N24:14).
