After leaving Venice on 26 March, before the barrage of letter-writing began, it is known that Bellini spent some time with Mrs. Turina in Milan and, leaving many of his personal possessions with her, appears to have planned to return there by August since he did not give up his rooms in the contrade dei
With the Pasta and other members of the Italian troupe contracted for London by the impresario of the [[King's Theatre, London|King's Theatre]], Pierre-François Laporte, Bellini and his troupe set off. On the journey it is known that he stopped in Paris and discussed with Dr. [[Louis Véron]], the director of the [[Paris Opéra]], the possibility of writing a French opera, but his intention was to focus on that subject on his return in the coming July.
