Carlo Ferrario
Italian
(1833–1907)
These sheest belongs to a group of twenty-seven drawings
by the artist that were part of a now dismembered album.
Carlo
Ferrario worked as a set designer, an assistant at the Teatro alla Scala in
1859, taking the place of Filippo Peroni as director for scenography in 1867.
In that capacity he designed the 1869 revival of LA forza del destino. By 1871
his relations with La Scala had disintegrated. In a letter to Verdi of 23 May
1871, Ricordi informs the composter that "the management has determined to
change the scenic designer, replacing Ferrario with some better artist."
But Ferrario was again on the scene in 1886-88, preparing the sets must have
liked the Forza sets greatly, for he apparently wrote congratulating Ferrario,
a letter the designer wanted to produce but could not find, in 1886 when he was
competing for an for Verdi's Otello. Hioss designs are printed in Bignami,
Cinquecento bozzetti di scenografia di Carlo Ferrario. Several drawings for the
1869 Forza can be found in "Sorgete! Ombre serene!" 63-65. Verdi academic position. rogallery.com
