"The Improvisatore (Danish: Improvisatoren) is an autobiographical novel by Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875). First published in 1835, it was an immediate success and is considered to be Andersen's breakthrough. The story, reflecting Andersen's own travels in Italy in 1833, reveals much about his own life and aspirations as experienced by Antonio, the novel's principal character." (Wikipedia).
