I thank my friends

4 January 2009
This site is for the sake of disclosure, not of gain and/or profit, with the aim of paying homage to the great soprano and letting her extraordinary and unique artistic gifts be known to the new generations.
The photos are part of my private collection, I thank Signora Gina Guandalini and Signor Claudio Painelli for the precious collaboration, whilst the arias extracted from the great soprano's repertory, in “Live” recordings going back to more than 50 years ago, which are of public domain, I have restored using the recent digital technology at 24 bits and 96 Khz “Simulated stereo” and suitably compressed in MP3 to adapt them to the Internet site
I declare to have done what is in my power to trace the proprietors of the photo originals which appear in this site and which, nevertheless, I have reduced to low quality dimensions, suitable for the monitor but not convenient for printing in large format.
Any eventual omission is involuntary.
Please, point out to me any eventual differences, whereby I will immediately provide for the removal of what is copyright of third parties and not fit for free publication.
Since the Internet is a free space, I call upon the great soprano's fans, in possession of photos or what else (reviews, writings of one's own) to collaborate with the aim of amplifying and bettering the newly-born site.
To do so, write to my e-mail address present in the site itself, I will gladly publish the most meritorious pages and photos sent to me.
