The Verdi centenary festival has cen
tered at Parma, the capital of the old
duchy, and the inaugural exercises
were held in the Teare Farnese, erect
ed at the beginning of the sixteenth
century. Verdi died in Milan in 1901
but the last twenty years Of his life
were spent principally at his Brusseto
estate in Parma, not far from his
birthplace. There he personally di-
rected the farming operations, and de-
lighted to call himself an stagricol-
tore He introduced modern agricul-
tura1 machinery, much of it Of Amer
lean manufacture, into Parma, and de-
voted his last years almost entirely
to aiding the farmers. A Verdi mon
ument, built by national subscription,
has been erected in Parma. In the
center is a statue of music, surround
ed by twelve figures representing the
heroes and heroines of Verdt's famous
operas.
Verdi was not only the most Illus
trious of italian Composers, but he was
the musical inspfrer of Gariba adj and
Mazzini and the patriot army in their
struggles for liberty and unity. viva
Verdi became the battle cry of the
Italian revolutionarfes The earlier

a revolution in Verdi's mind and
method, which resulted in Aida and

Minister of Agriculture, in his eulogy
of the composer. Like the divine Mi

For over a month all Italy has been
celebrating the centenary of Giuseppe
Verdi, one of the greatest of the
worlds composers, and a patriot whose
music stirred to enthusiasm and ac-
ton those who batt1ed for the cause
of italian unity. Today marks the ac-

three score stars of grand opera, and
every citizen of Italy from King down,
have participated in the great festival
of Verdfs honor.
Giuseppe Verdi was born on october
9, 1913, in the little town Of Ronocle,
in the old duchy of Parma. The duke
dom had been annexed by Napoleon in
1908, and made over into the French
department Of Taro, so that the COM
