    Così fan tutte, ossia La scuola degli amanti (Thus Do They All, or The School For Lovers) K. 588, is an opera buffa by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart first performed in 1790. The libretto was written by Lorenzo Da Ponte. Mozart and Da Ponte took as a theme "fiancée swapping" which dates back to the 13th century, with notable earlier versions being those of Boccaccio's Decameron and Shakespeare's play Cymbeline. Elements from Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew are also present.

    Pictured:  Johann Nepomuk della Croce (1736-1819), Amadeus Mozart. Cropped version of the painting where Mozart is seen with Anna Maria's sister and father, Leopold, on the wall a portrait of his deceased mother, Anna Maria., 1780-81, Oil on canvas.
