VERDI, Giuseppe (1813-1901). Autograph letter signed to Commendatore Beccaro, Busseto St Agata, 20 August 1884, thanking Beccaro for his trouble and for sending a garden chair which is not, however, the type that he wanted but Communque sia, non è colpa nè mia, nè sua se siamo un po' canzonati, 2 pages, octavo, with autograph envelope
Verdi writes to Beccaro at the spa at Montecatini, to which the composer and his wife went regularly from 1882. The letter, in the postscript, refers to quello scellerato di Fedeli...col figlio. Fedeli was either a professor at the University of Pisa, at one time the director of the baths at Montecatini, or his son Carlo, a friend of Verdi who was interested in music and perhaps himself had a son.
The letter is published in George Martin, Aspects of Verdi, Robson Books, 1989, pp.240-1
