Florence, where he founded a school of singing and was
in charge of the development of the education of the
song in the schools of the city.
In addition to his two operas (Petrarca alla corte
d'amore in 1859 & Piero de'Medicis in 1849), he
composed a Mass for 4 voices, vocal melodies, choirs
and various religious works. He was also a musical
critic of the Italian Gazzetta in Florence.
In recognition of his work, the municipal music school
of his Christmas city took the name Istituto musicale
Giulio Roberti.
