He assured us, that having once uttered his inspirations, he could not write them down, nor even remember a word; he is also a very good poet. Next to Rosetti, one of the gayest, and most entertaining <i>improvisatori<\/i> that we heard in Italy, was Signore Giacomo Ferretti of Rome. One night, at a party at the Baroness de B.&apos;s, an Hanoverian lady of distinguished acquirements, some of the company having quizzed my passion for pulchinello and puppet-shows, which I constantly attended, Ferretti took it as a subject for an <i>improviso<\/i>, and not only treated it with infinite comic humour, but gave a very rapid and learned <i>pr\u00e9cis<\/i> of the &quot;<i>Sette Maschere Italiane,&quot;<\/i> &quot;The seven Masques of Italy.&quot; He did not pause for a moment, and sang to an accompaniment on the piano-forte.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"aei-one-line-down\"><strong>Notes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"aei-blocktext\">\n&nbsp;\n    <\/div>\n<dl id=\"aei-dl-meta-unimportant\">\n<dt>Collected by:<\/dt>\n<dd> DP<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lady Morgan describes the impressive talents of the improvisatore Gabriele Rossetti, and continues with an account of a performance by another improvisatore, Ferretti, whom she also admires. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27,134],"tags":[113,53,76],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/romanticimprov.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/480"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/romanticimprov.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/romanticimprov.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/romanticimprov.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/romanticimprov.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=480"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/romanticimprov.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/480\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1692,"href":"https:\/\/romanticimprov.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/480\/revisions\/1692"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/romanticimprov.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=480"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/romanticimprov.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=480"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/romanticimprov.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=480"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
