Wonderful Gioachino Rossini Google Doodle

Yes, because here are the frogs go? Apparently the Google Doodle designers have escaped the pets and then into the masterpiece in honor of the Italian composer Gioachino Rossini jumped. This would be as of today (Feb 29) become 220 years old, what course should be appropriately recognized.

In theory, Rossini would indeed only his 55th Birthday party, but I do not want them to hold a post to write about himself. So old the joke may be, I always find it very amusing to be made aware that there are people whose birthday is taking place every four years.

This is a little side thing called leap year. According to the omniscient encyclopedia called a leap year, a year in the calendar, which contains, in contrast to common year (the normal year of 365 days), an additional leap day and / or intercalary month. This happens to most of the difference between a scheduled calendar year and the solar year to compensate.

In relation to today's Doodle, this means that the artwork on the performance of both Honoration Rossini's is also a reference to the event taking the leap year. Before I get closer to the eingehe Doodle, as usual, there are a few facts about the person.

Who was Gioachino Rossini?
