ROSSINI, Gioachino (1792-1868). Autograph letter signed to Gaetano Fabi, Florence, 27 March 1852, addressing Fabi intimately as Caro Gaetanino, Rossini gives him instructions regarding delivery of some of his possessions and his carriages, black ink, 1 page, 8°, 247 x 201mm.
This intimate yet businesslike letter was written during one of the lowest points in Rossini's life. The years between 1848 and 1855, when he was staying most of the time in Florence, were a time of nervous illness and demoralization. It was not until Rossini returned to Paris in the Spring of 1855 that he recovered his health.
