Legendary Italian tenor (1890–1957) who takes a place among the most revered operatic artists of all time. Two one-page TLSs, one signed in full and one signed “B. Gigli,” dated 1931 and 1932, both to a young collector. One reads, in part: “I was most profoundly touched by your noble work of distributing ‘color and cheer’ to the dear negro children of the South.” In fine condition, with some scattered mild toning to both. Accompanied by a pre-printed signature on an off-white 4.25 x 2.75 card. RR Auction COA.
