Niccolò Paganini was such a gifted violinist, people thought he sold his soul to the devil. Some thought he was a metaphorical musical God, others thought he literally got his virtuosity from a deal with the Devil. Even during his life, a legend that he had sold his soul to the devil in exchange for his preternatural abilities was widespread. Paganini himself claimed that his talent came from a guardian angel, but his uncanny mien and infamous womanizing somewhat undercut his position. Niccolò Paganini earned the moniker The Devil's Violinist due to the astonishing prowess of his violin playing, which was often attributed to an otherworldly source, the devil himself. In June 1834 Paganini was publicly accused of abducting Charlotte Watson, the 18-year-old daughter of a business associate in London.

@@cowgfwolos9560 I don't think so, the paganini did not have a good relationship with the Catholic Church while he was living. Like many composers (Beethoven, Schubert, Mozzart).

It is not the religion that destroying him, it is the envious people. If there were no envious people who light the flame of demonic pact rumours, the religious people wouldn't even think Paganini made a demonic pact and even might compliment him being blessed by God with such an incredible talent. At that time, anyone can be destroyed so easily by rumours. Especially when the rumours come from an envious influential person with money, they can even bribe the religious leader to agree that someone is making a demonic pact.
