		Boito's strengths and weaknesses are already evident: his ability to simplify a complicated plot and the variety of his poetic language, as well as his penchant for obscure polysyllables, his faulty sense of overall proportion, and his tendency to overstress contrasts of good and evil.
		Boito changed the setting to Venice and introduced a good deal of local colour, and the flamboyant melodramatic tone faithfully mirrors Hugo's style.
		Boito drastically altered Iago's motivation; Rodrigo's participation in the plot is inadequately developed; and the decisive fact of Cassio's survival is glossed over.

		Boito was part of a loose affiliation of young artists known as the 'scapigliatura' - a progressive and somewhat wild group out to change the face of Italian art - or Italian music to be more precise.
		Boito had written an ode on the occasion of the premiere of Franco Faccio's opera 'I profughi fiamminghi', containing the line, meant as an encouragement to Faccio: 'Perhaps the one has already been born who will revive true and pure art on its altar, which is soiled like the wall of a brothel'.
		Boito wrote brilliant and clever poetry, but his efforts at setting his words to music did not meet with much success - his original 'Mefistofele' was a fiasco in 1868, although the revision fared better in 1875.

		It is not improbably that Boito's Mefistofele (produced 1868) may have been one of the great factors in leading Verdi to reform his former style and produce such a work as Aida in 1871.
		Boito knew this and realized that the French work written almost twenty years before Mefistofele, would always be considered a serious rival to his own composition in the scope of its appeal.
		Boito, however, does not wholly reject Goethe's original idea, as was done in much of the Gounod work, but shows us Faust returned to old manhood at the end.

		On completing his studies Boito travelled for some years, and after his return to Italy settled down in Milan, dividing his time between journalism and music.
		Boito treated the Faust legend in a spirit far more nearly akin to the conception of Goethe than is found in Gounod's Faust, but, in spite of many isolated beauties, his opera lacks cohesion and dramatic interest.
		His energies were afterwards chiefly devoted to the composition of libretti, of which the principal are Otello and FalstajJ, set to music by Verdi; La Gioconda, set by Ponchielli; Amleto, set by Faccio; and Era e Leandre, set by Bottesini and Mancinelli.

		Boito had already worked with Verdi, writing for him the text for the Hymn to the Nations and later working on the revision of the libretto for Simon Boccanegra (1881).
		From 1887 to 1898 Boito was sentimentally attached to the actress Eleonora Duse, for whom he translated Anthony and Cleopatra, Macbeth and part of Romeo and Juliet.

		Between Boito and Verdi fortunately it was introduced Shakespeare and that was further glue for these two marked personalities, contributing to create masterpieces we still listen at avidly.
		Verdi, maybe to please his friend Boito, put in the Otello and in Falstaff some novelties, a little ambiguous, some well-made elegances, maybe too much self-satisfied that could made Boito and all his musical court exult.
		Boito himself clashed against a rock-like press and public reaction that did not want to accept those too excessive novelties; indeed his Mefistofele, represented at the Scala in 1868, met a whole “débacle”, recovering only in 1874 at Bologna, completely renewed.

		Although their association had on occasion been soured by various misunderstandings, Verdi's and Boito's friendship blossomed in the 1880s and they enjoyed an intellectually challenging and very warm relationship until Verdi's death - at which Boito was present.
		Boito's older brother Camillo (1836-1914) was one of Italy's foremost art historians and architects in the latter part of the 19th century, and professor of architecture at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan for nearly 50 years.

	Deserts And The Verdi-Boito Correspondence
		Brought together after much maneuvering by the publisher Giulio Ricordi (brilliantly chronicled in Marcello Conati`s new introduction to this volume), Verdi and Boito began working together in 1880 when the composer was 67 and, having given the world Aida and the Requiem believed his public career as a composer was over.
		Poet, critic, and librettist, Boito, then in his late 30s, was also a composer: his opera Mefistofele, initially a failure, had just been reworked and triumphantly revived.
		Embarking on a 20-year collaboration, the two produced a successful revision of Simon Boccanegra and what many consider to be Verdi`s greatest operas, Otello and Falstaff, thanks both to Boito`s poetry and to his tactful handling of the composer.

		Only for the ballet did they reach into the second part of Goethe’s play and appropriate the scene on the Brocken, which, however, is frequently omitted.
		Boito, himself a poet, based his libretto on both parts of Goethe’s work, and endeavoured to give it the substratum of philosophy upon which the German master reared his dramatic structure.
		Arrigo Boito was, it will be recalled, the author of the books to Ponchielli’s opera "La Gioconda," and Verdi’s "Otello" and "Falstaff." He was born in Padua, February 24, 1842.

		Boito was a brainy, temperamental but generous colleague.
		He repeatedly urged Boito to complete the opera Nerone, a potboiler about the rise of Christianity in pagan Rome that Boito labored over for half a century.
		Without accompanying text, one is left to wonder just how substantial the piece really is. Regardless, Siepi and Nelli again stand out as Simon Mago and Asteria, and the young Simionato, just coming into her own as a La Scala star, turns in an affecting performance as the Vestal virgin Rubria.

		Like Gioacchino Rossini, who wrote three dozen operas by his mid-thirties, and spent the next forty years of his life unable or unwilling to complete another, Boito underwent some kind of crisis early, and worked 54 years unsuccessfully at completing his second opera.
		As a student at the Milan Conservatory, Boito was awarded a stipend after winning composition prizes that enabled him to travel and study abroad for two years.
		After the second performance was likewise ill-received, Boito withdrew the opera and undertook to modify it to appease criticism.

		Arrigo Boito's treatment of the Faust legend has never been as popular as Gounod's, but Boito was an imaginative composer and a great librettist (he wrote the words for Verdi's Otello and Falstaff, the two finest librettos in Italian opera).
		Boito may not have been Verdi, but this one opera has some of the most powerful, sublime, and tear-jerking beauty of any opera-period.
		Boito's opera is certainly the least successful of all the adaptations inspired by that cornerstone of Western literature,

		The Arrigo Boito Collection was bequeathed to the Giorgio Cini Foundation by the writer Piero Nardi.
		Thanks to Nardi's bequest, the Institute has substantial resources on Arrigo Boito's musical studies, his lessons and search for harmony, his historical exegesis of compositional procedures, as well as a great deal of material and notes on a new way of teaching composition.
		These materials demonstrate Boito's dedication to his work as director of the Conservatory and, in the precision with which Boito's theory expresses the commonplace, rectify the injustice through which the musical background of the composer of Mefistofele had often been questioned.
