Ferruccio Tagliavini (1913 - 1995) photo Portrait of the Italian operatic tenor operating primarily in the forties and fifties. Tagliavini has been hailed as the heir apparent to Tito Schipa and Beniamino Gigli in lyrical opera repertoire because of the exceptional beauty of his voice, but he did not keep his great initial promise for the duration of his career. Presence of autographed Corale Rossini, dated 1953. Photography; 20x26 cm Excellent condition
