	Wikipedia: Giuseppe Verdi
		In 1842 his first real success was Nabucco, which followed two earlier operas, Oberto, conte di San Bonifacio (opened in Milan on November 17, 1839) and Un giorno di regno which was his only attempt at writing a comedy until Falstaff.
		Un Giorno di Regno was a decided failure and no wonder, it was written shortly after his first wife and child died.
		He died of a stroke in 1901 in Milan after the completion of his "Casa di Riposo", a retirement villa for poor artists.

		I discendenti di Carlomagno governarono la Francia fino al 987, quando Ugo Capeto, Duca di Francia e Conte di Parigi, venne incoronato Re di Francia.

		La discrepanza tra il numero di "atei" (41%) e il numero di "nessuna religione" (26%) può essere attribuito a persone che si sentono culturalmente vicine a una religione, seguono i suoi valori morali e le sue tradizione, ma difficilmente credono in Dio.

		Nell'ambito della lugubre aritmetica che fa da corollario a questo tipo di discussioni, un numero relativamente ridotto di vittime si registra tra i soldati britannici o i membri della polizia, benché questi gruppi, a loro volta, abbiano sofferto in maniera raccapricciante.
		Quando la squadra della morte arriva nella notte, equipaggiata di maschere e discolpe, religiosità e mitragliatrici, e cappucci per il cadavere, con la certezza omicida dell'odiante e dell'odiato, se cambia qualcosa, cambia ben poco per chi è in procinto di morire la consapevolezza di farlo in nome di un altrui concetto di libertà.

	Watches-Verdi- Un Giorno di Regno (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		As Verdi, himself, famously told the story, he despaired of ever writing another opera, and fell into an uncreative depression until a publisher forced the libretto for what came to be his third opera, "Nabucco," into his pocket.
		If "Un giorno di regno" is not exactly Rossinian and not precisely Donizettian, it is absolutely not Verdian.
		Still, for all that, "Un giorno" is a charming piece of work.

		Giuseppe Verdi was born on 10 October 1813 in Parma as a son of a pub owner and died on 27 Januari 1901 in Milan.
		His first opera "Oberto,contre di San Bonifazio" (1838) was a success and he was offered a contract for three new opera's.
		The first of this sequence "Un giorno di regno ossia il finto Stanislao" (1840) was a disaster, but the other two "Nabucodonosor" or "Nabucco" (1842) and "Lombardi alla prima crocciata" (1843) were well received by the Scala audience in Milan.

	Ernani - Background
		Three of these works having achieved great success (Un giorno di regno was the unhappy exception), Verdi wanted to show that he was capable of satisfying a broader audience.
		Another proposal was Cola di Rienzi (from Bulwer-Lytton), a subject that had just been staged in Dresden by Richard Wagner (1842).
		Verdi's reaction was sharp ("Per l'amor di Dio non finisca col Rondò ma faccia il terzetto").

	IL SEGNO: "Un giorno di regno" di G. Verdi
		Verdi si lamenterà in un lettera a Tito Ricordi diciannove anni dopo della crudeltà del pubblico, che "maltrattava l'opera d'un povero giovine ammalato, stretto dal tempo e col cuore straziato da un'orribile sventura!
		Ancora oggi permangono le tradizionali perplessità critiche su un saggio d'opera buffa che non raggiunge neppure lontanamente i vertici rossiniani, che cercava di rappresentare un genere ormai in declino e che sarà bruciato mezzo secolo più tardi dall'invenzione di Falstaff.
		L'opera di Verdi tornò in cartellone a Venezia nel 1845, a Roms nel 1846 e a Napoli nel 1859.

		The choice of something from Un giorno di regno is apt as in these early operas Verdi was still indebted to his predecessors in the treatment of the tenor voice.
		Listening to the aria from Un giorno di regno one is aware of how much Verdi was indebted to his forebears.
		In ‘La donna e mobile’ it is something of a revelation to hear the aria sung by a lyric voice (probably the heaviest part it would be wise to undertake) rather than as one of the lightest roles left in a heavier tenor’s repertoire.

		However, the first of them, the comic opera ‘Un Giorno di Regno’ was such a failure that it was withdrawn after only one performance and Verdi announced he was giving up composing.
		It is astonishing that Verdi should have been composing a comic opera at the same time as his wife was dying from encephalitis and when, in the previous two years, he had seen both his children die in infancy.
		The music includes extracts from ‘Oberto’, ‘Un Giorno di Regno’, ‘Nabucco’ and ‘Macbeth’ and, as with all the extracts in the set, come from discs available from the Naxos catalogue.

		It has always been something of a puzzle to me that Un giorno di regno still awaits a fully professional production in this country by one or other of our metropolitan or regional companies.
		Although on the whole Italian buffo works are out of favour with those who run these organizations, I would have thought that the name of Verdi might encourage them to have a go at a piece that is quite as-enjoyable as many of the comedies of Rossini or Donizetti.
		When it first appeared in 1974, RO graphically stated: "In Un giorno Verdi can be seen teeing up the opera buffa style and driving lustily over the fairway.

		Most people with a smattering of knowledge about Verdi's life will recall that Un Giorno di Regno was his only comedy before Falstaff; that it was his second opera and failed miserably at a terrible time in the composer's life, when he had recently been bereaved of his wife and both children.
		Probably he was right, for opera buffa belonged to a style that Verdi's own development would soon relegate to the past, and its chief practitioners-Rossini and Donizetti-handled the form more gracefully than he.
		Pedestrian pages abound, along with some clumsy technique and unimaginative scoring, but much of the music has a directness and an energetic drive that are hard to resist.
