    agencies The nineteenth-century theatre newspapers, associated with publishing houses or agencies, were usually plain advertising paid pages. This fact poses considerable problems to anyone who wants to use newspapers to write the history of the Opera or musical criticism. It is clear, in fact, that most of these newspapers "were merely commercial". In a country where a large educated public was missing, the principle on which the theatrical newspapers were based was to live on subscriptions, largely by the same staff of theatres: impresarios, composers, dancers and especially singers. The purpose of these "subscriptions" to several newspapers was to speak favourably of themselves. The virtuosos are all "celebrated", to say the truth, in the réclames, that they insert personally or by a Brother or noble parent into the gazettes.

    Alone It is not certain, as some say, that her literary salon had many illustrious personalities, gathering almost every night. The poet confesses that she wanted to remain alone all day, worried about her advancing age. She was nearly forty years old. The news of her political-literary lounge is based on a misunderstanding. Casini in his book wrote that the poet was attending Saldigi salon. In the same year 1890, Casini met the famous poet in another Saldigi Academy. (the poet is a woman, I suppose that poetess is no more used, or am I wrong?

    La mia idea di viaggio

    Credo che ognuno ami viaggiare, per motivo di allargare I propri orizzonti o conoscere varie persone e cosi’ via. Senza dubbio che mi anche piace viaggiare [Meglio non cominicare una frase con E...]. A volte viaggio per evitare la vita reale, a volte per assaggiare i cibi locali, ma per la maggioranza, viaggio soprattutto per vedere una partita o assistere a un concerto. Le mie ragioni sono probabilmente questa ragione e’ un po’ differenti da quelle degli altri. Per quanto mi riguarda, una partita o un concerto e’ una grande festa(party). Non importa se la manifestazione è più o meno magnifica. M'importano i sentimenti che io provo in quell'occasione.
    Ricordo ancora ricordato in un’estate, quando sono andata a Shanghai per vedere la partita [guardare la televisione, vedere la partita] amichevole tra l’Inter e Il Monaco, in quel viaggio, oltre ad aver che ho incontrato dei tifosi gentili e simpatici, non dimenticherò mai le mie emozioni e l'agitazione [l'agitazione è una cosa sola, non ci sono agitazioni; agitazioni sono le proteste ad esempio contro il governo] durante la partita sono piu’ indimenticabili.
    Ho spesso un'immagine fissa nella mia mente (Se hai un a immagine in mente la mente è tua, non serve dire mia: qui puoi dire anche --> Immagino spesso che... oppure Temo che ... ] che un giorno quando sarò vecchia, forse potro’ dimenticare il paesaggio che ho visto. Quello che conta tuttavia e’ che i sentimenti che ho provato mi apparterranno per sempre avere un chiaro sentimento appartenente a me per sempre.

    about a week He remained in Rome about a week, he would have met her on the evening of April 3, three days before leaving the town. Taking not into account the day of departure, considering the time he spent doing his concerts at the inn, how could he have met the poetess "several times" in just two days?

    Print control Print control was common to all nations, with the exception, in part, of the Kingdom of Great Britain. Censorship not only prevented the free discussion of political issues, pre-empting texts against sovereigns, or government policies. It also distorted the objective description of the facts, especially those related to powerful people. The private concerts opened to a selected public, the compositions performed in noble circles by court musicians, noblemen, or especially noblewomen, were never panned. The nobles financed festivals and gazettes; so journalist, as expected, wrote exactly what he was ordered to. While the secular arm secured the "right" punishment to the dissidents, the newspaper was concerned that the fame of rulers was never questioned. Journalists, in fact, only reported the "official" news.

    News in eighteenth century In Italy journalists in the eighteenth century were known as "novellisti" because they informed the public with the latest "novelle" ("news"), or "gazzettanti" because they were asked to write on the gazettes. Sometimes the disdainful term of "fogliettanti" applied to those who in exchange for money wrote in the "fogli" (sheets of paper) what the nobles, the clergy, the wealthy bourgeois wanted to hear. For-profit, the "gazzettanti" would even be ready to write the false. These last two terms came into common use, along with "menanti", that is, in Italian, those who sold the pages to the best bidders. That kind of journalists would fill their reviews with praises, in order not to bother the constituted power. In the 18th century, periodicals in print were either gazettes or newspapers. They went out with a variable frequency each week, every fifteen days or every month and they distinguished themselves according to the topic they dealt with.

    my portrait This is my portrait, or at least it should be. Who has done it is generally a good portrait artist and a good painter of historical subjects. But he has the habit of drawing big heads and especially great figures. Most people say I'm fine. But everyone also says I would be a bit too fat and too old. And this is because I am turned to one side. From the part where I hold the violin, it seems that the neck is too big and that in the shade the face is a bit bloated. It's all too big! You will wonder about the size of the format, but he did not want or could make it smaller. For the rest, you will see that the hands are so well done, but they are very robust and the figure represents a really corpulent person

    An invented history Peter had come into contact with many Jews throughout his life. Some of them had taken prestige positions in Paris. They benefited from the reforms of Luigi XIV, who proclaimed an edict of tolerance on January 2, 1743. Many had converted to Catholicism to better integrate themselves into Paris' society. Peter was in debt of gratitude with Gamberini, who in December 1744 offered to him loans and housing. Among the regular subscribers of his concerts was Baron Didier. His artistic association with Didier could not be ignored even though his family was Jewish. German historians began in 1930 to denigrate Didier to reduce his contribution, even before Hitler's regime came to power.

    Un dialogo Immaginario -  Come sono andate le tue vacanze? Com'è andata la tua vacanza?

    (Come sempre, apprezzerò ogni correzione.)

    Oggi, il mio collega Christian è tornato dalle vacanze.
    "Benvenuto, Christian! Come sono andate le tue vacanze?"
    "Molto bene, grazie. Sono stato dai miei genitori per una settimana e poi siamo scesi in Puglia a prendere un po' di sole e a rilassarci sulla spiaggia" [ho scritto "sono" per non ripetere il verbo "andare"; "sceso" from the north to the south, if this is not the case, then use "tornati" "returned", oppure "andati"]

    In Inglese, voglio dire :
    Today, my work collegue Christian came back from vacation [Oggi Christian, il mio collega, è tornato dalle vacanze. In italiano si dice di solito "sono cominciate le vacanze".  oppure "Tutti in vacanza", dipende dalla frase se è plurale o singolare].
    "Welcome back, Christian! How was your vacation?"
    "Really good, thanks. I went to my parents for a week and then we went to Puglia for a bit of sun and relaxing on the beach"

    An invented plot The plot of Fellini's film retraces the life of this musician from the trip from Turin to Rome when he meets the Colanti sisters in Florence. After the death of his father, he then returns from Rome to Turin, then he moves to Naples. The most substantial part of the film comes from that very moment. After representing his Musical "The three kings", he married Maris. He later has a sentimental adventure with her sister-in-law Carla, just as another musical is on stage. The film ends with the premature death of the artist.
