A celebrated miracle by the Volto Santo of Lucca that smells like an anecdote, a lyrical opera performed for the first time in 1961 that chooses that medieval legend as plot, but with the innovation of a goldsmith in a co-starring role: this is the centre of interest of Il Calzare d’argento, libretto by Riccardo Bacchelli, set to music by Ildebrando Pizzetti. The character has the name of Paio di Nocco, a really existed artist – even if some time later – and it is meaningful as the writer conceives him: famous for his art even abroad, so that a foreign king ordered him precious gifts for the Volto Santo, but also important as citizen, to the point that he is dressed not like a working-class man, but just like a lord.

Abstract
A celebrated miracle by the Volto Santo of Lucca that smells like an anecdote, a lyrical opera performed for the first time in 1961 that chooses that medieval legend as plot, but with the innovation of a goldsmith in a co-starring role: this is the centre of interest of Il Calzare d’argento, libretto by Riccardo Bacchelli, set to music by Ildebrando Pizzetti. The character has the name of Paio di Nocco, a really existed artist – even if some time later – and it is meaningful as the writer conceives him: famous for his art even abroad, so that a foreign king ordered him precious gifts for the Volto Santo, but also important as citizen, to the point that he is dressed not like a working-class man, but just like a lord.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
