Luciano Neroni, L'uomo, L'Artista

Scritto da: Brunilde Neroni

Edizione "Cantina dell'Arte"

Pagine: 70

Anno: 1992

A fundamental point for a memoir book is to establish a direct and emotional involvement of the reader and this magic happens here, through a letter of Luigi Focaracci.

Luigi was a friend of Luciano, he tells us some of his character, his preferences, curiosities and so one, one of them is infinite love for Ripatransone, his village.

In his letter Luigi remember his days passed in Rome and his first meeting with Luciano.

Luciano was a mighty man, he was tall with a tender heart and noble, his favorite musician was Wagner and being a "Ripano" he a "lover" of the good wine and food.

One day Luciano was invited to lunch from a friend, he ate everything, at the point that his friend looked at him and said "Lucià (Luciano in dialect) for the next time I'll made a suit for you, rather that inviting you for lunch".

The central part of this book of memoir is written by Brunilde Neroni, the daughter of Luciano.
Brunilde lost her loved father after eighty days of her birth, clearly she does not remember her father, but being an intelligent woman, she will use her pen as a sort of time machine.

In her writing there are many dates, and suggestive notes like "My father was born in a cold and snowy day of 11th February of the 1909, it seems to me that she wants to see her father like a hologram, she wants to listen to his voice.

Luciano sang for the first time at the theatre of Ripatransone, when he was thirteen years old during the religious party dedicated to the patron Mary Magdalene the beginning of a brilliant artistic career, he sang with Beniamino Gigli and Maria Callas (at the end of the book there are their condolences for the death of Luciano).

He performed in the best Italians' theatre like "The Scala" of Milan and "La Fenice" of Venice.
Abroad he sang at the Royal Opera House of London but not at the "Metropolitan Museum" of New York due to the his deadly disease.

In the August of 1951 Luciano received a telegraph from the Metropolitan of New York for confirming the dates of his performances. Luciano died in date 23 October 1951.

At the end the there are a collection of photos with Luciano, his family and his loved Ripatransone.
