In this same Cathedral all his ancestors had performed a considerable part of their activity, as organists<\/strong>, composers<\/strong> and conductors<\/strong>. It is worth remembering that the church was then equipped with two wonderful instruments, today unfortunately dismantled, of which the choirs and the front pipes are still visible, one of the 15th century by Domenico di Lorenzo in cornu epistolae <\/em>\u2013 to the right as you look at the high altar \u2013 the other of the 17th century by Cosimo<\/strong> and Andrea Ravani<\/strong> in cornu evangelii<\/em> \u2013 to the left.<\/p>\n

And in this very Cathedral, for the Holy Cross<\/strong> in 1872, the young Giacomo made his professional debut as an assistant of the second chorus, for a fee of 3.72 liras. The programme included a Mottettone<\/em><\/strong> by his father Michele. With his uncle Fortunato Magi as conductor.<\/p>\n

Despite the many demands made by his mother Albina, Giacomo was never able to obtain the office of organist, held continuously by a Puccini for 124 years \u2013 from 1740 until the death of his father Michele in 1864 \u2013 for the poor judgment of the members of a commission, to whom the Opera di S. Croce had delegated the decision.<\/p>\n

Becoming famous and far from Lucca, Puccini always remembered his first attendances and did not lack interest in the music that was performed. He spoke precisely about those with his friend Gustavo Giovannetti<\/strong> and in September 1887 wrote to his brother-in-law Raffaello Franceschini, with his usual ability to mix the sacred and the profane: \u201cTell me what\u2019s new in Lucca and what music will be performed for Santa Croce and tell me everything that has happened, deaths, rapes, robberies, adulteries and cuckolds\u201d.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_widget_sidebar sidebar_id=”download-app”][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1679416385606{background-color: #efefef !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1680077818960{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;}”][vc_column_inner][vc_widget_sidebar sidebar_id=”altri-luoghi-lucca”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
