Memoirs of Lorenzo Da Ponte
註釋1929. Edited and annotated by Arthur Livingston. The fascinating memoirs of the Italian poet, librettist, and pioneer in spreading Italian culture in the United States. Forced to leave Venice and Vienna due to scandals, he wandered through Europe, lived in London and then came to the US where he spent the rest of his life as a celebrated teacher of Italian language and culture (except for an unsuccessful period spent in Pennsylvania selling medicines). He taught nearly 2,000 private pupils and was appointed professor of Italian language and literature at Columbia in 1830.
