SOME SILVERING THOUGH NOT AS MUCH IN PERSON, SMALL TEAR AT FAR RIGHT

SILVIO COSTA LO GIUDICE - TENOR

Autographed and inscribed 6” x 9” Montacchini of Palermo photograph of the tenor as the Duke of Mantua, February, 1933.  This is a textured photograph which does not scan well and is far better in person.  Lo Giudice hailed from Palermo from a family of singers.  He created the role of Hanan in Rocca’s “Il Dibuk” in 1934  and sung at the important theatres of Italy.  The Duke of Mantua was a calling card, however, he writes Tosca and Traviata at the bottom of the photograph.  Other roles included Enzo, Rodolfo and Ismaele.  Incredibly scarce, especially in larger photographs.
