Who (might have) met whom

Sciences, music and (French) litterature have always been major topics for me. I wondered who, among these scientists, composers and writers I'd heard about, would have had the opportunity to get to know each other.

For example, did you know that Antonio Salieri was born around the same time as Domenico Cimarosa

• Antonio Salieri (18/8/1750 - 7/5/1825) was an Italian composer and teacher of the classical period, known for composing The Chimney Sweep (Opera) and Concertos for Winds.
• Domenico Cimarosa (17/12/1749 - 11/1/1801) was an Italian composer of the Neapolitan School and of the Classical period, known for composing I due gemelli veneziani (Opera) and Quintet for Winds.
