“It started with the tongues on fanatics, A savage nation rose to a gory war. Carnivorously tearing off flesh, In the name of an avenging God Butchering; lambs, children, women and men.

Rossini feared as much. 'Dio ti salvi l'anima' (God save your soul), he wrote on the manuscript at the end of the overture).” RossiniViolinsOvertureSignor Bruschino Author:Richard Osborne
