Separately I sent a reference for the "authentic edition" of the Italian anthology (ed. Paton). The one you were looking for. Please do let us know what you discover at the NMI. The opera in which "Tre giorni son che Nina" appears is "Tre Cicisbei Ridicoli" (Bologna 1746, Venice 1747, London 1749*) composed by Natale RESTA, Maestro di Cappella Milanese. You mention a period libretto with Dutch translation. The opera (dramma giocoso) was also performed in Amsterdam in 1750 with the London cast. But "Nina" does not appear in the first Italian performances, but appears to have been added to the London productions as a serenade. There is no chartacrer named Nina in the work. Legrenzio Ciampi was the director of the London performance, and the suggestion now is that he may have simply arranged a popular Neapolitan serenade. There are scores in manuscript for a later version of the work attr. Galuppi in Modena, Dresden and Vienna. Xerox of the Modena score in UC Berkeley. There are printed librettos, but no known scores, for the original dramma giocoso by Natale Resta. *The troup also performed a dramma giocoso titled "Don Calascione"<g> =====AJN (Boston, Mass.)===== Free Download of the Week Wagner's Siegfried Idyll performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra; Christopher Seaman, conductor.
