Angelo Foletto

The first of Angelo Foletto’s series of lessons entitled “Verdi a Milano. Una storia in molti atti” (“Verdi a Milano. A story in many acts”) was held on the 22nd of November 2000. The series was organised on the occasion of the hundredth centenary of Verdi’s death and concurrently with La Scala’s year dedicated to the composer. This was one of the many initiatives that have had, as a protagonist and special collaborator, this great journalist and musicologist (we shall also note his lessons on the Twentieth Century, on Bellini, and the series “Poetry and Music”, not to mention his numerous contributions as a coordinator). The series on Verdi was held in the corso Venezia offices, and saw our members participating with dedication and enthusiasm. In the pictures is a young Foletto with Maestro Sawallisch, and a more mature Foletto with colleagues Satragni and Colombo.
