Firenze, E. A. Teatro Comunale (Tip. A. Vallecchi), 1943, in-8, br. editoriale, pp. (12). Programma di sala con note illustrative di Guido Piamomte. L'esordio nella direzione del maestro veneziano, anche compositore e violoncellista, fu a Siena nel 1904, ma il punto di svolta della sua carriera fu l'arrivo al Teatro alla Scala nel 1922, chiamato da Toscanini (che presto divenne suo grande rivale). Negli anni 1939-46 tenne corsi di direzione orchestrale alla Chigiana (si ricorda una memorabile Juditha vivaldiana del 1941); nel 1942 coll'Orchestra del Maggio era a Vienna per il centenario dei Wiener Philarmoniker. Considerato uno dei più grandi direttori del '900.

Il Fusi, libraio milanese, aveva assunto nel 1807 la rappresentanza sociale della Società Tipografica de'Classici Italiani. Da ciò l'idea di un'organica bibliografia da offrire come donoagli associati sottoscrittori della "Collezione de' Classici Italiani", edita tra il 1802 e il 1814. Il programma editoriale, avviato nel luglio del 1802 sotto gli auspici del Ministro della Cultura e favorito dal Melzi, prevedeva la realizzazione della prima grande biblioteca letteraria italiana, composta da 250 opere che abbracciassero cinque secoli di tradizione letteraria. Il presente volume si poneva programmaticamente come strumento da affiancare alla "Collezione" per rendere "ragione del metodo seguito" e per dar conto delle varie edizioni precedenti di ogni singola opera. Nell'"Avviso degli Editori", che compare ad inizio volume, il Fusi sintetizza le ragioni dell'opera: fornire una bibliografia di supporto alla collezione basata sui "migliori Cataloghi" e sullo spoglio delle "migliori librerie di questa Città [Milano]", arricchita da una selezione delle varie "Raccolte" di poeti e prosatori e da puntuali biografie direttamente mutuate dalla "Serie delle edizioni di testi di Lingua Italiana" di Bartolomeo Gamba.
