[mascagni-interest] Updates and news

[Erik Bruchez]

Dear list,

It is time to mention some recent news and updates of the Web site!

1. Mike Wilson pointed to the fact that Mascagni's epistolary dates
   the Nerone movie excerpts to November 5, 1936. Two excerpts were
   filmed for the movie "Regina della Scala" on that day. I updated
   the page to reflect this finding:

   Comparing the appearance of Mascagni in the movie and in the
   pictures seems to confirm this:

   I would be extremely interested in finding a copy of the complete
   movie! It would be wonderful to see it released in video or DVD or
   even on the Web.

   The same is true for the restored color version of "Rapsodia
   Satanica". Why make a fuss about it back in 1995 if eight years
   later nobody on the planet has access to it?

2. A new Cavalleria Rusticana movie by Italian-American producer and
   songwriter Tony Renis is announced. More information on the News
   page:

3. Many pictures have been added. The classification tries to reflect
   different periods of Mascagni's life. The first album shows a few
   pictures taken before 1900:

   The second album concentrates of the middle aged Mascagni, roughly
   from 1900 to the early 1920's.

   Finally, a separate album is dedicated to the elderly Mascagni:

   Portraits, pictures showing Mascagni at the piano and group
   pictures are shown in separate albums:

     http://www.mascagni.org/pictures/groups

   I tried to order the pictures chronologically, but often I had to
   guess. This means that there are certainly lots of errors!

   New albums are dedicated to places (mostly buildings) and
   caricatures:

  It is interesting to compare some pictures that at first looked the
  same to me but turned out to be different:

    http://www.mascagni.org/framed-images/525

  Interesting also to see a few pictures where Mascagni really smiles:

That's it for today!
