The first document is a card (possibly) to the composer Franco Alfano, here indicated without his first name. Zandonai thanks his correspondent, who lent him a piano. He is glad for Alfano’s recovery and promises to write a composition dedicated to him.
The second document is a letter to the musician Cesare Nordio, which gives plenty of information about the relationship between Zandonai and the managing of the Teatro Comunale of Bologna about the performance of two opera by Zandonai, Giuliano and Francesca da Rimini. The two documents (and especially the second one) shed a new light in the story of the reception of Zandonai’s works during his life.
