the book "Mascagni e le sue opere - and his operas" by Fulvio Venturi

Pietro Mascagni and his operas.

Bilingual edition (Italiano-English)

In 2017, the Leghorn Publishing House “Sillabe”with the support of the Committee for the Promotion of Maestro P. Mascagni and Fulvio Venturi, published “Mascagni and his operas”.

From the “Verismo” opera theatre wit Cavalleria Rusticana to the oriental symbolism of IRIS, from the medieval revival in fable form of Isabeau, to the Macchiaiolo-style “bozzettismo of Silvano and from the D’Annunzian aestheticism of Parisina to the delicate and almost native Lodoletta….a whole kaleidoscope of experience and emotion, inextricably tied to memories of the past, the fascination of the theatre, ad frequently in the name of innovation and forerunning.

A volume of great interest, in two languages, dedicated to the operas of the Livornese composer who captivated audiences worldwide with his music and personality between the end of the 19th and the first half of the 20th century.
