E la storia di Luca Scorrano, scienziato di 35 anni rientrato in Italia grazie ai fondi di Telethon, lo dimostra. Oggi pubblica ben due articoli sulla rivista scientifica Cell. Si occupano di una malattia ereditaria che si chiama atrofia ottica dominante e colpisce i bambini in età prescolare, facendoli diventare ciechi. Ma nonostante i risultati, e dopo cinque anni di lavoro con la fondazione per la ricerca genetica, Scorrano e la maggior...

castrated now exumed and disected, does this fellow get any rest.

terrible to disturb remains like this.

2. Johnni, Edinburgh / 9:20am 13 Jul 2006

Castrated, eh? Don't think I could have handled that!

Besides ... the words "male genitals" and "cut" are perhaps the greatest example of an oxymoron in the language ... next to "Bush" and "President"!

3. George, Edinburgh / 9:45am 13 Jul 2006

Mark J's comments (no. 1) seem to me to be ill thought out.

First, he objects to dissection, which the article does not mention. Perhaps they will dissect the corpse, perhaps not. I should think it more likely that they will use non-invasive scanners.

His use of the word 'rest' is unfortunate. It suggests Farinelli is putting his feet up for a few minutes or taking a nap. He isn't; he's dead; what happens to his remains affects him not one jot.

(His soul? Talk of immortal souls is, of course, pure mumbo jumbo. We are the products of Evolution, and there is no evolutionary reason why souls should have appeared. Even if they had, it would be a rotten prospect if they were trapped in the corpse or suffered by proxy what happened to it. It can't be any fun being cremated or gnawed by worms.)

Why do we bury people in cemeteries? Why don't we just dig them into the fields like mulch so they can do the Green thing and turn into wheat? I don't think we do it for the benefit of the corpse, but for those who remain.

After 300 years, I don't suppose many of Farinelli's relatives still visit his grave. Nonetheless, it is satisfying that he continues to have a physical presence in the world, not just in the history books.

Will exhumation change that? I doubt it (I assume they'll put him back again when they're done). It may well spark more interest, more visitors, and more respect. If I had been him, I'd have enjoyed the prospect of that.

Castrati played heroic male leads from the mid-17th to late 18th century when the bel canto was the rage in Europe. Farinelli, born Carlo Broschi in 1705, was the most famous of all, in a career lasting from 1720 to 1737. I regret this incident. I am so used to seeing the coloured movies that the Alfred Hitchcock black and white movies together with the cast are out of my head. I want to look forward. First, I read CASTRO of CUBA. The CIGAR MAN. Then it is the singer. Well. I am sorry for the beetles who broke up and I am sorry for Elvis who drunk himself death by drugs. All of them WERE GOOD. No point in talking about them. Now we have the new breed and the PCs string and acoustics at the highest innovated form.

5. A J, England / 10:09am 14 Jul 2006

Firozali @ 4 ...... what??????????

The Italian Castrati had nothing to do with Fidel Castro, the Cuban dictator, Elvis, the Beatles or any other singer.

The noun Castrati comes from the verb to castrate. The reason that boys were castrated before puberty was to try and retain their soprano voice. The Roman Catholic church did not allow women, to sing in church at that time.

The most famous Castrati were the celebrities of their day and it is understandable that scientists and historians would like to understand the effects on the body of castration

Italie: Farinelli exhumé pour dévoiler les secrets des castrats

ROME - Les restes du cadavre du célèbre castrat italien Farinelli ont été exhumés d'un cimetière de Bologne. Historiens et scientifiques désirent étudier comment son anatomie a réagi à la castration.

Opéré dès son plus jeune âge pour pouvoir conserver son timbre de voix de petit garçon, Farinelli reste dans les annales le plus célèbre des castrats, ces chanteurs d'opéra italien très recherchés au XVIIe et au XVIIIe siècle.

Une équipe de chercheurs de l'université de Bologne, dont un spécialiste de l'accoustique, attend avec impatience de découvrir ce qu'il reste des cordes vocales et du larynx de Farinelli afin de mieux comprendre d'où venaient les capacités vocales si extraordinaires de ces chanteurs.

"C'est l'unique squelette témoin dont nous disposons", a expliqué le spécialiste britannique des castrats Nicholas Clapton. "Nous voulons savoir s'ils étaient comme les dessins humoristiques les décrivaient, grands et dégingandés, ou avec une poitrine de femme et de grosses fesses, ou encore comme le magnifique gentleman (représenté) sur les portraits officiels de Farinelli."

Le corps du chanteur, exhumé avec celui de sa petite nièce, se trouvait "dans un état de conservation médiocre", selon Carlo Vitale du centre d'étude sur Farinelli basé à Bologne. Mais les scientifiques auront de quoi mener leurs recherches.

Selon M. Clapton, professeur de chant à l'Académie royale de musique de Londres, c'est l'ablation des glandes génitales des petits garçons qui empêchait la croissance des cordes vocales malgré les changements d'un corps devenant adulte.

"Cela leur donnait une capacité pulmonaire énorme mais avec une voix très mélodieuse", a-t-il précisé. Mais après une telle opération, les experts estiment que ces castrats ont pu également grossir ou grandir anormalement et même voir leurs seins pousser.

Le choriste de la chapelle sixtine Alessandro Moreschi fut le dernier exemple vivant de ces chanteurs au timbre si pur. Il réalisa même des enregistrements de sa voix en 1902 et 1904, qualifié par M. Clapton de "Pavarotti sur hélium".

Farinelli rises from grave to reveal secrets Fonts Size: E-Mail This Reuters Printer-Friendly 2006-07-13 10:34 AM Advertisement Historians and scientists have exhumed the remains of legendary castrato Farinelli in Italy to study the anatomical effects of castration carried out on young boys to turn them into high-pitched stars of the opera.

Castrati played heroic male leads in Italian opera from the mid-17th to late 18th century when the bel canto was the rage in Europe. Farinelli, born Carlo Broschi in 1705, was the most famous of them all, in a stage career lasting from 1720 to 1737.

Carlo Vitale of the Farinelli Study Centre in Bologna said they had recovered the bodies on Wednesday of the singer and his great-niece, who moved his body from a first grave destroyed in the Napoleonic wars.

His final resting place in Bologna's Certosa cemetery was only recently discovered.

"They are in a middling state of preservation but the scientists say there is something to work on," Vitale told Reuters from the graveyard, where Farinelli and his great-niece lay beneath a tombstone with a long Latin epitaph.

His remains were to be taken to Bologna University for study by a team of scientists including an accoustics expert eager to find remains of the vocal chords and larynx to discover what gave castrati such extraordinary vocal range and power.

"This is the only skeleton of them we have," said Nicholas Clapton, a British expert on the castrati.

"We want to know if they were like the cartoons at the time depicted them, tall and dangly, or with women's breasts and large buttocks, or like the grand gentleman in Farinelli's official portraits," he told Reuters.

"That gave them huge lung capacity but with a very sweet voice," he said.

It could also mean castrati grew abnormally tall or fat and could sprout breasts, though surviving official portraits of Farinelli depict a handsome man in fine dress.

Castrati also had their critics who thought their voices were ghastly and their mutilation was barbaric.

The Catholic Church banned it on pain of excommunication, while also using castrati in choirs and the Vatican's Sistine Chapel until as recently as 1903, Clapton said.

The last surviving castrato, Sistine Chapel chorist Alessandro Moreschi, lived long enough to make recordings in 1902 and 1904, though on the dated gramophone records his voice sound like what Clapton described as "Pavarotti on helium".

Farinelli's body disinterred to find secrets of castrati By Malcolm Moore, in Rome

(Filed: 13/07/2006)

The bones of Farinelli, the castrato whose voice thrilled the courts of 18th century Europe, were dug up yesterday in an attempt by scientists to discover more about the man, and thousands of others castrated to help them sing.

Researchers including David Howard, of the University of York, and Nicholas Clapton, of the Royal Academy of Music, want to know what anatomical effects castration had on the legion of young boys who underwent the process in order to become opera stars.

"This is the only skeleton of them we have," said Mr Clapton. "We want to know if they were like the cartoons at the time depicted them, tall and gangly, or with women's breasts and large buttocks, or like the grand gentleman in Farinelli's official portraits."

Castrato Farinelli's bones come up for air and study

July 14, 2006

Favourite: A circa 1750 painting of Carlo Broschi

LONDON: The remains of the legendary castrato Farinelli were disinterred in Bologna yesterday for scientific research.

In Italy in the 17th and 18th centuries, thousands of boys were castrated each year: their voices did not break at puberty but gained more power than a woman's because of their size.

Carlo Broschi (1705-82), known as Farinelli, enjoyed wide renown and was one of Handel's favourite singers.

Nicholas Clapton, curator of the Handel & the Castrati exhibition at London's Handel House Museum, and himself a counter-tenor, noted that disinterment was quite gruesome "and some might consider it sacrilegious".

However, he added, it would now be possible to measure the bones of a castrato singer and test his physical shape against the cartoon images of castrati as "tuneful scarecrows". The biomedical research, including X-rays and scans, will be done for the Centro Studi Farinelli by the universities of Pisa and Bologna.

Physical anthropology professor Maria Giovanna Belcastro said the skull could suggest the castrato's face and that "removal of the testicles results in the absence of male-type growth of the larynx, which may appear very small, with the vocal cords as short as in a female soprano".

But the resonating chambers provided by the pharynx and oral cavity, as well as an adult chest capacity, were probably responsible for a castrato's vocal prowess.

Castration, banned in Italy in 1870, was partly a reaction to the Catholic ban on females singing in church. In the 17th and 18th centuries, the heroic lead in opera would usually be for a castrato.

ROME (Reuters) - Historians and scientists have exhumed the remains of legendary castrato Farinelli in Italy to study the anatomical effects of castration carried out on young boys to turn them into high-pitched stars of the opera.

Carlo Vitale of the Farinelli Study Center in Bologna said they had recovered the bodies on Wednesday of the singer and his great-niece, who moved his body from a first grave destroyed in the Napoleonic wars.

http://view.nowpublic.com/?src=http%3A%2F%2Fobiakpere.blogspot.com%2F2006%2F07%2Ffarinelli-rises-from-grave-to-reveal.html Pagina 1 di 3 The Public View of 14/07/2006 11:31 AM

His final resting place in Bologna's Certosa cemetery was only recently discovered.

"They are in a middling state of preservation but the scientists say there is something to work on," Vitale told Reuters from the graveyard, where Farinelli and his great- niece lay beneath a tombstone with a long Latin epitaph.

"This is the only skeleton of them we have," said Nicholas Clapton, a British expert on the castrati.

"That gave them huge lung capacity but with a very sweet voice," he said.

It could also mean castrati grew abnormally tall or fat and could sprout breasts, though surviving official portraits of Farinelli depict a handsome man in fine dress.

Castrati also had their critics who thought their voices were ghastly and their mutilation was barbaric.

The Catholic Church banned it on pain of excommunication, while also using castrati in choirs and the Vatican's Sistine Chapel until as recently as 1903, Clapton said.

United Press International Famous 18th century 'castrato' exhumed

Jul. 13, 2006 at 11:04PM

The remains of Farinelli, the famous Italian singer of the Baroque period, were exhumed in Bologna so scientists could learn the secrets of his vocal range. Called the "divine Farinelli," he traveled throughout Europe and to the court of King Philip V of Spain -- who was said to be cured of depression by hearing Farinelli sing -- ANSA reported. Scientists from Bologna's Farinelli Center and the universities of Bologna, Pisa, Florence and York began looking at Farinelli's remains on Wednesday. They want to learn if castrati -- men castrated as boys to keep their voices high -- had normally formed bodies. Farinelli had a range of three and a half octaves. Even if the soft parts of the mouth have disintegrated, said Maria Giovanna Belcastro of Bologna University, "we should be able to get some idea of what made castrati tick from the size of the chest cavity." The Baroque period (1600-1750) was the golden age for the castrato voice, and Handel, Rossini and Mozart wrote works specifically for them. Farinelli's remains were only recently discovered in a cemetery in Bologna, where they were moved in 1810 after the destruction of his original resting place at a Capuchin monastery, the Telegraph reported.

Science Enterprise Scientists will study the anatomical effects brought on by castration, examining Abstracts Farinelli's vocal cords to examine what might have given castrati such a broad Research vocal range.

Genetics Castration of boys at an early age is thought to have kept vocal cords small, allowing hormonal changes to keep their bodies growing into adulthood. The usual result was a very sweet Clinical Practice voice with a large lung capacity.

Clinical Trials Scientists from the universities of Bologna and Pisa will examine the bones for insights into Farinelli's lifestyle, habits and possible diseases, as well as the physiology of a castrato.

The team also includes David Howard (University of York), Nicholas Clapton, (Royal Academy of Music), and others.

No one can definitively explain the sanctioning of castration by the Church. Some leaders at the time believed St Paul had commanded women to keep out of choirs. ("Let the women learn in silence". 1 Timothy 2:11). DONATIONS Others may have feared the supposed eroticism of women's voices.

Exhuman a Farinelli, il castrato

Científicos en Italia desenterrarán este miércoles el cadáver del famoso cantante de ópera del siglo XVIII Carlo Broschi, conocido como Farinelli, il castrato.

El objetivo de la exhumación es entender más acerca de cómo su castración y la instrucción musical que recibió afectó su físico.

Los investigadores esperan también enterarse de su dieta y las enfermedades que sufrió.

Farinelli fue uno de los miles de jóvenes castrados cada año para preservar sus voces agudas a pesar del crecimiento natural y los cambios que este conlleva.

La mayoría de los niños eran de familias pobres y no todos alcanzaron la fama. Sin embargo, los que triunfaron llegaron a tener un estatus parecido al de las estrellas de pop de hoy en día.

La práctica de la castración, llevada a cabo para crear el sonido extraordinario de la voz, fue prohibida en 1870.

El sexo evoluciona al ritmo de las nuevas tecnologías

Expertos sexólogos de Estados Unidos afirman que en los próximos años la tecnología logrará cambiar la idea que hasta ahora se tenía de “cibersexo”, ya que existen nuevos materiales para construir máquinas eróticas y programas que reproducen virtualmente experiencias sexuales “casi reales”, que las van a convertir en algo menos virtual que un “chat”.

Los investigadores norteamericanos se han reunido para abordar cómo será la próxima década en su campo, y hubo quien imaginó un futuro en el que las fantasías podrán ser satisfechas por “compañeros sexuales artificiales”.

"Lo que probablemente exista antes del 2016 será una experiencia multisensual de sexo virtual", dijo Julia Heiman, directora del Instituto Kinsey para la Investigación sobre Sexo, Género y Reproducción en la Universidad de Indiana.

"Existe la posibilidad de desarrollar materiales eróticos que permiten crear un compañero o compañera de ciertas dimensiones y cualidades". Además, el “sexo virtual” actual permite a dos personas con sendos ordenadores manipular aparatos electrónicos, como un vibrador, a través de la Red, para satisfacer las peticiones sexuales del otro.

"No es algo que sólo hagan los lunáticos", dijo Steve Rhodes, presidente de Sinulate Entertainment, según Rhodes, que ha vendido miles de aparatos de sexo conectados a Internet en los últimos años. Además:

Si studiano i resti del cantore Farinelli 7 luglio 2006 Autore: Monica Lacoppola

Saranno riesumate il prossimo 12 luglio le ossa del cantore del Settecento. Il progetto di studio coinvolge l'Ateneo di Bologna, quello di Pisa e quello di York, oltre al Centro Studi Farinelli di Bologna.

Sono fedeli i ritratti tramandati di Farinelli, l’evirato cantore osannato come una vera pop star nel Settecento? A proposito della sua morte poi le cronache dicono semplicemente "morì a Bologna a 77 anni". Ma c’è qualcosa che merita di essere ancora indagato sulle cause del suo decesso e su eventi che hanno riguardato la sua vita?

Tutte curiosità che potrebbero presto essere soddisfatte da un gruppo di antropologi dell’Ateneo. Il giorno 12 Luglio, infatti, sarà riesumato il cadavere del cantore Carlo Broschi (era il vero nome dell’artista), che dal 1810 riposa in una tomba della Certosa monumentale.

"Molto dipende da cosa troveremo visto che il cadavere di Farinelli è stato traslato ben tre volte" - spiega la professoressa Maria Giovanna Belcastro Responsabile del Laboratorio di Bioarcheologia e Osteologia forense e del Museo di Antropologia. Il progetto storico scientifico coinvolge, oltre ad altri studiosi del Laboratorio (Fiorenzo Facchini, Benedetta Bonfiglioli, Chiara Consiglio, Elisa Rastelli, Valentina Mariotti) e del Museo di Antropologia (Antonio Todero) del Sistema Museale d’Ateneo della nostra Università anche l’équipe del Prof. Gino Fornaciari, paleopatologo dell’Università di Pisa, molto noto per gli studi compiuti sulla famiglia Medici, il Prof. David M. Howard dell’University of York e il Centro Studi Farinelli di Bologna.

"Non sappiamo, comunque, - prosegue Belcastro con cautela - in che condizioni sarà. E non sappiamo se i suoi resti sono mescolati a quelli della nipote, Maria Carlotta Pisani, che è stata sepolta nella stessa tomba. Ma se le condizioni lo permetteranno la lettura dello scheletro potrà soddisfare non poche curiosità". Per esempio, è cosa nota che Farinelli sia stato evirato in età prepuberale, prima perciò della comparsa dei caratteri sessuali secondari, anche quelli dello scheletro. Il suo scheletro potrebbe quindi non rivelare, come di solito invece avviene in età adulta, specifici caratteri legati al sesso. E potrebbe invece presentare altri caratteri che testimoniano l’abitudine al canto (ad esempio lo sviluppo della cassa toracica), una particolare cura del cavo orale e dei denti, ecc.. Il tentativo di ricostruzione biologica globale, effettuato utilizzando le tecnologie biomediche più moderne (microscopia, radiologie, TAC, istologia, ricostruzione fisiognomica, ecc.) mirerà ad ottenere il maggiore numero possibile di informazioni sull'ambiente, sullo stile di vita, sulle malattie che colpirono questo importante personaggio di Età moderna.

Uno studio consueto per gli antropologi quello dello scheletro,

che nelle loro mani appare come una sorta di scatola nera, indagata per ricostruire la storia dell’individuo. "Sullo scheletro c’è, infatti, traccia della vita di ciascuno di noi: sesso, età, abitudini alimentari, attività fisica, malattie, ecc.". Ma anche delle cause di morte. "Il nostro lavoro non è molto diverso da quello degli osteologi e medici forensi - aggiungono gli antropologi bolognesi - solo che la scena del "delitto" che noi indaghiamo risale magari a centinaia o migliaia di anni fa".

Spesso gli studi vengono compiuti su campioni molto vasti di popolazione. E’ il caso della collezione di oltre mille scheletri identificati (per età, sesso, causa di morte, attività lavorativa, ecc.) che si trova nel Dipartimento di Biologia Evoluzionistica Sperimentale e che è materia di indagine per studiosi italiani e stranieri per mettere a punto metodi di studio e per ricostruire la storia delle popolazioni del passato. Un "vero archivio bio-culturale". Avere, comunque, di fronte un personaggio storicizzato e famoso come Farinelli, permette di fare interessanti confronti tra le informazioni che lo scheletro può dare e quanto noto dalla ricca documentazione biografica e iconografica, ad esempio.

Il Dipartimento non è certo nuovo a studi su personaggi illustri. Proprio qui il fondatore dell’istituto di Antropologia, il professor Fabio Frassetto, studiò i resti di Bartolomeo Colleoni e di Dante dando un importante contributo alla ricostruzione della fisionomia del poeta.

MILAN, Italy (AP) - Scientists have exhumed the body of the legendary 18th-century opera singer Farinelli to learn more about the castrati, male singers neutered in childhood to preserve their high-pitched voices.

Gravde opp kastratsanger

Milano (ANB-AP):

Italienske forskere har gravd opp liket av den legendariske operasangeren Farinelli, som døde på 1700-tallet. Målet er å lære mer om kastratsangerne.

Kastratsangerne var mannlige sangere som ble kastrert i barndommen for å bevare de lyse stemmene sine.

Levningene av Farinelli, som var den mest populære og best betalte operasangeren i Europa før han døde i september 1782, ble gravd opp onsdag fra den historiske gravlunden i Bologna. Forskerne var overrasket over ikke å bare finne Farinellis levninger i graven, men også levningene etter en kvinnelig slektning.

Beinrestene vil nå bli nøye undersøkt av forskere fra universitetene i Bologna og Pisa for nærmere innsyn i Farinellis livsstil, vaner, mulige sykdommer og ikke minst en kastrats fysiologi. (ANB-AP)

PUBLICIDADE Farinelli sai da tumba para revelar segredos sobre castração 12 de Jul, Qua - 09h10

( Reuters) -

Por Stephen Brown

ROMA (Reuters) - Historiadores e cientistas exumaram na Itália os restos mortais do lendário cantor Farinelli, a fim de estudar os efeitos anatômicos da castração realizada em garotos jovens para transformá-los em cantores de ópera com voz fina.

Os "castrati" representavam papéis masculinos heróicos nas óperas entre a metade do século 17 e o final do século 18, quando o "bel canto" estava em alta na Europa.

Farinelli, nascido Carlo Broschi, em 1705, foi o mais famoso de todos os castrati, tendo atuado de 1720 a 1737.

Carlo Vitale, do Centro de Estudo Farinelli, em Bolonha, disse que os Últimas notícias - 17 de Jul, Seg - 05h14 cientistas recuperaram na quarta-feira os corpos do cantor e do seu sobrinho-neto, que foram retirados da tumba original, destruída durante as · Aniston insinua que "Friends" poderia voltar em guerras napoleônicas. episódio especial ( Agência EFE) 17 de Jul, Seg - 05h07 O derradeiro local de descanso de Farinelli, o cemitério Certosa, de · Confira os filmes na TV em destaque nesta Bolonha, foi descoberto apenas recentemente. segunda ( BR Press) 16 de Jul, Dom - 21h29 "Estão em estado médio de conservação, mas os cientistas dizem que há · Lino Villaventura reforça África em suas criações material para ser trabalhado", disse Vitale à Reuters, no cemitério, onde de patchwork Farinelli e o sobrinho-neto ficavam sob uma lápide com epitáfio em latim.

"Esse é o único esqueleto deles que temos", afirmou Nicholas Clapton, um Mais notícias especialista britânico no assunto.

"Queremos saber se eles eram como os desenhos da época os apresentavam, altos e magros, ou se tinham seios de mulher e ancas largas, ou se eram como o grande gentil-homem mostrado nos retratos oficiais de Farinelli", disse Clapton à Reuters.

Professor de canto da Academia Real de Música, em Londres, e curador de uma mostra sobre como o compositor Handel usou os castrati, Clapton afirmou que a retirada dos testículos daquelas crianças impedia o crescimento de suas cordas vocais sem bloquear o crescimento de seus corpos.

"Isso lhes dava uma grande capacidade pulmonar, mas com uma voz bastante doce", disse. http://br.movies.yahoo.com/noticias/15016537 Pagina 1 di 2 Notícias sobre Filmes, Artistas, DVD e TV no Yahoo! Cinema 17/07/2006 02:15 PM

A cirurgia também pode ter feito com que os castrati ficassem excessivamente altos ou gordos, ou que tivessem seios. Os retratos oficiais, porém, apresentam Farinelli como um homem elegante.

A prática dos castrati contou com críticas à época. Para os que se opunham a ela, as vozes desses cantores eram esganiçadas e a cirurgia, um ato de barbárie.

A Igreja Católica proibiu a prática, sob pena de excomunhão, apesar de ter usado castrati em coros e na Capela Sistina, no Vaticano, até 1903, disse Clapton.

O último castrato vivo, Alessandro Moreschi, que cantava na Capela Sistina, viveu o suficiente para fazer gravações em 1902 e 1904, apesar de o registro da voz dele em gramofone soar como um "Pavarotti que aspirou hélio", nas palavras de Clapton.

Alcune analisi, spiega Belcastro, come quella microbiologica, sono molto costose, "ma contiamo di chiedere finanziamenti e di riceverne per andare avanti con le ricerche".

Gli studi dureranno circa un anno, aggiunge, e guarderanno a tanti aspetti, da quelli fisici allo stato di salute del soprano. Per quanto riguarda la voce, gli elementi "molli" come le corde vocali, va avanti la docente, sarebbero stati molto utili per capire il perche' dei virtuosisimi vocali di Farinelli, ma anche il cranio, l'apparato boccale e i denti (anche se ne sono stati trovati solo tre) possono fare da indicatori.

ALLA CERTOSA Farinelli 'esce' dalla tomba Riesumato per test scientifici Le ossa del celebre cantante settecentesco saranno studiate dai ricercatori di tre università, che tenteranno di svelare il talento dell'artista castrato

BOLOGNA, 6 luglio 2006 - Dopo una vita di sfavillanti successi in giro per le corti d’Europa e una morte forse mai del tutto chiarita, si alza nuovamente il sipario, e stavolta a sorpresa, su Carlo Brioschi, il celebre cantante castrato conosciuto come Farinelli.

Il soprano nel 1700 visse a Bologna nella fastosa villa di campagna, in via Lame 228 (ora via Zanardi), che, scherzi della storia, fu poi declassata ad ufficio di uno zuccherificio e poi abbattuta nel 1949. E ora «the show must go on», lo spettacolo continua: il 12 luglio, alle 8,30 del mattino, la salma di Farinelli verrà riesumata dalla tomba nella quale si trova al cimitero monumentale della Certosa di Bologna, luogo in cui i resti vennero traslati nel 1810 dalla chiesa di Santa Croce del convento dei Cappuccini, oggi Villa Revedin, sede del seminario arcivescovile.

I resti della ‘voce bianca’ più celebre della storia saranno portati alla luce per «ottenere tutte le informazioni necessarie a ricostruire il profilo biologico del noto cantore». Gli studiosi cercheranno di capire, fra le altre cose, perchè mai era così alto, una anomalia per l’epoca, e quale fosse la capacità polmonare in relazione al fatto che Farinelli a 12 anni fu evirato per volere della famiglia.

La regia dell’operazione è attribuita ad un appassionato toscano, Alberto Bruschi, antiquario di Firenze, che è anche il finanziatore dell’impresa nella quale ha coinvolto il Centro studi Farinelli di Bologna, l’università di Bologna e di Pisa, e la soprintendenza per i beni archeologici dell’Emilia Romagna e il museo di antropologia bolognese.

Il gruppo di ricerca è coordinato dall’antropologa Giovanna Belcastro, (università di Bologna) e dal paleopatologo Gino Fornaciari (Università di Pisa) e dall’ingegnere David Howard (Università di York).

La notizia della riesumazione, a quanto si sa, doveva rimanere riservata fino al 12 luglio, ma sulla home page della Certosa si legge che «gli studi saranno condotti utilizzando tutte le moderne tecnologie come i raggi x, la tac , le indagini immunologiche e biomolecolari, che permetteranno di ottenere dati inediti su Farinelli e il suo stile di vita».

Il centro studi Farinelli di Bologna, che appoggia l’intera operazione, mantiene viva la memoria di questo artista e cinque anni fa si preoccupò di far restaurare la stele posta sulla tomba che si trova nel Chiostro maggiore a Levante della Certosa.

Una «dimora», per la verità non proprio sontuosa per un genio musicale che portò il talento italico di allora in giro per per l’Europa, da Vienna, a Parigi, Londra e Madrid.

Analisi scientifiche sui resti del celebre castrato andriese

Farinelli riesumato a Bologna si svelerà il segreto della voce?

BolognaSaranno riesumati i resti di Farinelli. Nel suo testamento, il celebre cantante dalla voce di bimbo Farinelli, evirato a soli 12 anni, qualche anno prima di morire, ormai ricco e famoso, lasciò scritto di voler essere sepolto nella chiesa di Santa Croce, presso il convento dei padri Cappuccini, sui colli di Bologna, prescrivendo per sé un funerale seguito da cinquanta poveri. Carlo Broschi, questo il vero nome del Farinelli che era nato a Andria nel 1705, acquistò addirittura la propria tomba, il 23 agosto del 1779, nella Chiesa sul Monte Calvario di Bologna, dove venne poi sepolto alla sua morte, il 17 settembre 1782. Nel 1810 la salma di Farinelli venne poi traslata dal convento trasformato in Villa nel cimitero monumentale della Certosa di Bologna e là da allora, le spoglie del celebre cantore riposano. Certo, Carlo Broschi «Farinelli» non poteva immaginare che, dopo oltre due secoli, i suoi resti sarebbero stati studiati con le più avanzate tecnologie, allo scopo di fornire agli studiosi tutte le informazioni necessarie a ricostruire il profilo biologico dell'artista. La salma del cantore sarà riesumata martedì prossimo: ogni frammento, ogni resto di Farinelli sarà studiato per capire, ad esempio, attraverso indagini immunologiche e biomolecolari, quali effetti ebbe sul suo corpo l'evirazione subita da adolescente. Il finanziatore e la mente dell'impresa è un antiquario di Firenze, Alberto Bruschi, che attraverso il «Centro Studi Farinelli» di Bologna ha coinvolto docenti delle università di Pisa, Bologna e York, oltre alla soprintendenza per i beni archeologici dell'Emilia Romagna ed il museo bolognese di antropologia. Carlo Broschi «Farinelli» all'età di 12 anni venne evirato perchè potesse mantenere la promettente voce fanciullesca che lo avrebbe reso famoso nel mondo, consentendo alla sua famiglia di sopravvivere alle ristrettezze economiche determinate dalla prematura morte del padre di Carlo, Salvatore, compositore e maestro di cappella nel Duomo di Andria, morto a 36 anni. Farinelli, ormai famoso, si esibì varie volte a Bologna e nel 1732 ottenne dalle autorità felsinee la cittadinanza onoraria. Un solo mese più tardi acquistò un podere in via delle Lame (oggi via Zanardi, poco fuori le mura cittadine); qui fece costruire una magnifica villa dove, ormai ricco e famoso, trascorse la vecchiaia in compagnia di una piccola corte di artisti. Nonostante i ventuno anni vissuti a Bologna (dal

Scientists were surprised to find not just Farinelli's remains but also those of his grandniece Carlotta Pisani Broschi.

''When Carlotta died in 1850, the grave was reopened and Farinelli's bones were stacked together at the base of the tomb to make (a) place for Carlotta's remains,'' Vitali said Thursday.

The stacking of the bones degraded the preservation of Farinelli's remains, which included his jawbone, several teeth, parts of his skull and almost all of his major bones.

Vitali described the major bones as ''long and sturdy, which would correspond with Farinelli's official portraits, as well as the castrati's reputation for being unusually tall.''
