Figaro is the central character in a trilogy by Beaumarchais and in The Barber of Seville (Rossini) and The Marriage of Figaro (Mozart). So yes, you might have guessed, he was... a barber.
Beaumarchais (Pierre Augustin Caron) wrote 'The Barber of Seville' and its two sequels 'The Marriage of Figaro' and 'The Guilty Mother', all of which have been used as the basis for operas.
It's called Largo al factotum by Rossini, it is an aria from 'The Baber of Seville. =)
An Italian car company (I think Fiat) used Figaro's aria focusing on the latter part which sounds like 'fidelity cars, fidelity cars' along with footage of its automated car factory. The robots moving in time to the music. I would take a guess at around 1980?
