Il Bacio di Tosca

For 10 years, Giuseppe Verdi who had no immediate heir, carried with him the dream of a convalescent home for operatic artists. Today, the Casa Verdi shelters many celebrities and in particular Sara Scuderi-the legendary Tosca of the 1930s, Giuseppe Manachini and Giovanni Erminio Pulighedu. Daniel Schmid’s tender and friendly camera reveals, intouched by time, the talent, the spirit and the eternal youth of these artists. The Casa Verdi, as by magic, charges into an opera house.
