« Monsieur Sauchon,
J’ai reçu le Bulletin de compte relevé pour [la] 168 répartition [d’]avril 1891.

Agréez, Mr Sauchon, l’expression de ma considération distinguée
G. Verdi »
Giuseppe Verdi went to the Montecatini Thermal Baths in Tuscany for the first time in the summer of 1882. There he finds the ideal environment for creation. It was in these same baths that he composed Otello in 1887 and Falstaff in 1893.
Nice signature
