Otherwise, there is one here which might merit consideration." "What does it concern?" "A revolutionary meeting," replied Silvano, "where it appears the woman, Lotys, is to speak." The Premier shrugged his shoulders and smiled. "You must enlighten me! Who is the woman Lotys?" "Ah, that no one exactly knows!" replied the secretary.
It is true, indeed, that the Roman M. Alessandro Taddei, the secretary of that Cardinal, and Don Silvano Razzi, my dearest friend, who have given me information about this picture and about many other things, do not know by whose hand it is, but only that it was presented by the above-named King Henry to Cardinal Caraffa, when he was in France, and then by Caraffa to the most illustrious Cardinal di Monte, who treasured it as a very rare thing, which in truth it is.
"A strange character, without doubt, but " He paused and spoke more emphatically "She has power!" Lutera gave a gesture of irritation. "Bah! Over whom does she exercise it. Over one man or many?" "Over one half the population at least," responded Silvano, quietly, turning over a few papers without looking up. The Marquis stared at him, slightly amused.
Sternly pointing to the signature I said "The letter is from your prefecto and written in his idioma; you see the firma." Helplessly shaking his head, he said, "Oh, yes, the firma is that of Silvano Martinez, but the letter is in your idioma."
The names of these two martyr saints were Emeterio and Celedonio, who, as we have seen, are worshipped in Santander; besides, they are also the patron saints of Calahorra. The first Bishop of Calahorra took possession of his see toward the middle of the fifth century; his name was Silvano. Near by, and in a vale leading to the south from the Ebro, the Moors built a fortress and called it Nájera.
Last year however he produced two operas at Milan, "Guglielmo Ratcliff" and "Silvano," which proved successful. Whether "Cavalleria Rusticana" is to remain as his only hold upon popular favor, the future alone can tell; but that he has talent of the highest order, and that he has produced an opera whose reception has been almost unparalleled in the world of music cannot be questioned.
Silvano endeavours to dissuade him from his love, but meets with the usual want of success. In the case of this piece, as also of the two preceding ones, we have no direct evidence of any representation, but all three, and especially the last, have the appearance of being composed for recitation.
And for the same man he made a most beautiful design of a Crucifix, about one braccio high, with a Magdalene at the foot, in a manner so new and so pleasing that it is a marvel; which design M. Salvestro Bertini lent to Girolamo Razzi, his very dear friend, who is now Don Silvano, and two pictures were painted from it by Carlo of Loro, who has since executed many others, which are dispersed about Florence.
To the painter Ruberto di Filippo Lippi, who was his disciple, Giovan Francesco gave many works by his own hand, such as low-reliefs, models, and designs; and, among other things, several pictures a Leda, a Europa, a Neptune, a very beautiful Vulcan, and another little panel in low-relief wherein is a nude man on horseback of great beauty, which panel is now in the study of Don Silvano Razzi, at the Angeli.
Unfortunately such gems as these only make the coarseness of their setting the more conspicuous, and on the whole the sooner the world forgets about 'L'Amico Fritz' and 'I Rantzau' the better it will be for Mascagni's reputation. 'Guglielmo Ratcliff' and 'Silvano, both produced in 1895, have not been heard out of Italy, nor is there much probability that they will ever cross the Alps.
