Portraits of composers

On the 10th of November 1990, in the La Scala foyer, the book Ritratti di compositori (“Portraits of composers”) was presented. The volume was curated by Giorgio Taborelli and Vittoria Crespi Morbio, with texts by Vittoria Crespi Morbio, Giorgio Fonio, Franco Pulcini, Giorgio Taborelli, and Alberto Veca. The launch of the book, that was published with the patronage of Banco Lariano, concluded with a concert performed by the La Scala Quartet. For the occasion, one of Giovanni Boldini’s paintings was also exhibited: the artwork depicts composer Giuseppe Verdi, and was lent to the Association by Casa Verdi. All the members were invited to attend, and the book was given as a gift to all the attendees.
