I mentioned in the post about new movie Quartet (below) Il Bacio di Tosca (Tosca's Kiss). The subject of the 1984 documentary is the Casa di Riposo per Musicisti of Milan, the world's first nursing home for retired opera singers, founded by Giuseppe Verdi in 1896. And here it is, in full, courtesy of YouTube.
The film follows retired soprano Sara Scuderi and the other tenants of the retirement home (such as Giuseppe Manacchini, Leonida Bellon, Salvatore Locapo, and Giovanni Puligheddu), as they re-live and re-enact the roles which made them famous. It's in Italian, without subtitles, but it shouldn't be too hard to follow.
