"O ITALIA! Ora e sempre" is a lyric opera in two acts which follows the adventures of the young Giuseppe Garibaldi from Russia to Italy and France. It was in a drinking den in the sleazy alleyways of the seaport of Taganrog that the twenty-five-year old swore eternal allegiance to the future Italian Republic and, in this remote realm, discovered his ardent passion for a young Russian countess with an unutterable secret.

Lyric opera in three acts set in Venice's exuberant carnival of 1562. An important family and their palazzo, the fashionable Calli (Venice streets) and the Jewish ghetto, a rebellious heroine and her destiny!
“Carnevale! Carnevale!
A Venexia è Carnevale!
Benvenuti! Benvegnesti!
Ecco a voi i nostri inchini lesti!
Domestici guizzanti ed entusiasti
abbelliam la dimora per i fasti
Fingiam! Sfuggiam la serenata
Sì, fremiam per la carnevalata
Svelti, il tocco final di fretta
Su! Questa bell’opra vi aspetta”
