Vintage matte-finish 8.5 x 6.25 Alfred Ornano photo of Puccini seated in his music room on the ground floor of the Torre del Lago villa, affixed to the original 12.75 x 14.75 studio mount, signed and inscribed on the mount in Italian in fountain pen, "Alla gentile signorina, Giulietta Berti, ricordo di, Giacomo Puccini, Torre del Lago, 3. X. 1903," with Puccini adding three bars of music from the 'They Call Me Mimi' verse in his acclaimed 1896 opera "La Boheme.” In very good to fine condition, with light foxing to the mount.
Ornano was also the photographer of various views of Lake Massaciuccoli and the Pinewood of Torre del Lago. Based on a story by French writer Henri Murger set in 1840s Paris, La Boheme was Puccini's first major success and arguably his greatest work. After its 1896 debut in Turin, the piece was quickly adopted into the international repertory. A sensational offering from the Italian master.
