ALS in Italian, signed “Giacomo,” two pages on two adjoining sheets, 5.5 x 7.5, January 28, 1924. Handwritten letter regarding his work and business affairs, penned while working on his final, unfinished opera, Turandot. In part (translated): "I sent your sister the manuscript. Business... the first time didn't go well. I did it over with Contorini and am waiting for a response and then I'll let you know in detail. I fear a lawsuit...I am a martyr to my work—with an abundant dose of stamina. Here one is isolated, away from the world, and I hardly ever leave the house. Always at the desk!" In fine condition. A bold, well-preserved letter by Puccini with significant content on his life and work.
