Magnifico, a character in the animated television show Kim Possible
•
Lorenzo de' Medici (1449 – 1492) known as Lorenzo the Magnificent (Lorenzo il Magnifico)
He has frequently showed his versatility by singing two roles from the same opera: Figaro and the Count in Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro, Leporello and the title role in Mozart’s Don Giovanni, Guglielmo and Don Alfonso in Mozart’s Così fan tutte, and Dandini and Don Magnifico in Rossini’s La Cenerentola, among others.

Corbelli's roles at the Royal Opera House have included Don Alfonso in Cosi Fan Tutte (8 perf., 1997), Doctor Malatesta in Don Pasquale (8 perf., 2004; 5 perf. 2006), Don Magnifico in La Cenerentola (10 perf. 2007-2008), Doctor Bartolo in Il barbiere di Siviglia (6 perf., 2009), and Michonnet in Adriana Lecouvreur (8 perf., 2010).
The author compares Alessandra's life with that of Lucrezia Tornabuoni, mother of Lorenzo il Magnifico and wife of Cosimo de' Medici lord of Florence, who wrote poetry and was at the centre of the city's artistic and intellectual life.
Gioachino Rossini's opera La Cenerentola makes this economic basis explicit: Don Magnifico wishes to make his own daughters' dowry larger, to attract a grander match, which is impossible if he must provide a third dowry.
