    I love opera singers from prior to the 1950's. My favourite is Tito Schipa, and I am attempting to learn what he taught and how he learned. I have his ten vocal exercises but not the booklet that came with them. I wrote to Seth Riggs, who studied under him, but he never responded. I am now researching one of Schipa's most famous teachers, Alceste Gerunda (1847-1917) since he studied with him for six years. Gerunda's teacher was Saverio Mercadante. Gerunda himself taught at the Convitto Palmieri, which now olds the Bernardini Library, prior to opening his own school in his home. I wrote to the library but never heard from them. They have two books that interest me, namely "ALCESTE GERUNDA E LA SCUOLA LECCESE DI CANTO" by Silvia Mandurino (ITES 1969) and "IN MEMORIA DEL MAESTRO ALCESTE GERUNDA NE L'AVVIVERSARIO PRIMO DE LA SUA MORTE" by Giulia) Lucrezi (Palumbo. (I found the first online, and while it is fascinating, it doesn't contain what I need.) What I am seeking is anecdotes regarding his lessons, notes he may have written, books he may have used, the pedagogy he followed, etc. I am totally blind and live in New Jersey, America, so it's not possible for me to travel to Lecce. I posted to their subreddit, but I will leave this here in case anyone in the wider community can help. If you or someone you know teaches real bel canto (no scientific or modern ideas), I would love to hear from you.

  5. On Wednesday our feet were itching so we took advantage of lovely weather for a mini caminho up the coast.

    We walked the Litoral from the end of the Porto metro in Póvoa up to Apúlia. It was a nice mix of oceanfront walking and some stretches inland of the dunes where we got to enjoy the trees and wildflowers.

    The rain chased us home the next day. It's easy to chicken out when you live on the Camino. 🙂

    Cattedrale di #Otranto, in #Apulia, #Italy. It was consecrated in 1088 (!) and also has beautiful 12th century mosaic floors.

  11. It's the Day of Hermes aka Mercurius Day aka #Wednesday! 🐏

    "He [Hermes] cast upon the dogs which were guarding them [the guard dogs of the cattle of Apollon] a stupor and strangles, so that the dogs forgot the cows and lost the power of barking."
    #Hesiod, The Great Eoiae Frag 16

  12. Following Roma - Pescara in January, on 1 July 2024 another fast regional service using a "Pop" train set is introduced between #Bari 🇮🇹 and #Potenza via #GioaDelColle and #Metaponto.

    One daily train pair labelled "Lucania Express" will connect the two regions #Apulia and #Basilicata as a test service. Currently there is no direct train connection between those two cities (1/2).

  13. It's the Day of Hermes aka Mercurius Day aka #Wednesday! 🐏

    This cup of #Hermes and a dog was made as a pair, the other depiting Apollon. The delicately painted seated #Hermes adorns the center of the cup, feeding or playfully teasing the hound reclining at his side.

  14. I'm trying to find the name of an Italian Christmas Cookie that my nonna made growing up - my dad lost the recipe and can't remember the name..

    It's a chocolate cookie, soft inside, covered in a powdered sugar glaze. My dad remembers it having:

    -Cocoa powder
    -Cloves
    -Orange zest
    -Coffe

    He's from the #Bari area.
