Loving the Land – The Other Work: Giuseppe Verdi, the Farmer
A theatrical performance with Roberta Biagiarelli, actress and director, and Sandro Fabiani, actor
The care Maestro Verdi devoted to his land and his people, his dual passion for music and agriculture; the farming legacy that still lives on in his “estates.” Much of the wealth he earned through his innate musical genius was invested in land, until he came to own over 1,200 hectares.
A fiercely protective guardian of his garden and animals, a keen observer of the lives of farmers, a meticulous administrator—Verdi the landowner was as passionate and rigorous as Verdi the composer.
This theatrical homage to Giuseppe Verdi’s Other Work seeks to honor the intangible human architecture he carved into the land, like a musical score—an opus he worked on tirelessly throughout his life. A story that invites us to make it our own.
