What Italian choreographed don Quixote and swan lake?

The Italian choreographer who choreographed both Don Quixote and Swan Lake is Marius Petipa.

While he was born in France, his career was largely spent in Russia, where he became a leading figure in the development of Russian ballet. He is considered one of the most important choreographers of the 19th century.

Here are some details:

* Don Quixote: Petipa originally choreographed the ballet in 1869, though it was later revised and expanded.

* Swan Lake: Petipa collaborated with Lev Ivanov on the choreography for Swan Lake, first presented in 1877. Ivanov primarily choreographed the "White Swan" acts, while Petipa handled the "Black Swan" acts.
