PUCCINI GIACOMO: (1858-1924) Italian Composer. A.L.S., G. Puccini, to a postcard, Viareggo, 13th October 1922, to Maria Bianca Ginori, a noble close friend, in Italian. Puccini sends a short message full of deep sorrow, and in bold black ink states `A thousand thanks dear Maria Bianca for your good comforting words. My poor ''monacchina'' has died, little by little, and has left me with a void in my soul! Patience - so it is -´ Puccini refers to his sister Iginia (1853-1922), who passed away on 2nd October 1922, and calls her ''monachina'' as the ''little nun''. Post-stamped. With a fold across the card, not affecting the signature. G £500-600 Iginia Puccini was a nun at the monastery of Visitazione, Vicopelago. His sister and the monastery inspired the composer for his one act opera Suor Angelica (1918). It was premiered at the Metropolitan Opera House, with Geraldine Farrar in the main role.
