Michele de Falco (also Falco, di Falco, Farco: c. 1688 in Naples – after 1732) was an Italian composer, maestro di cappella, and a pioneer of the opera buffa genre.[1] He was probably a student of Nicola Fago, with whom he also collaborated on his second opera. He also collaborated with Leonardo Vinci on his operas.[2]
