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.

STAMPA ARTICOLO

LA RIESUMAZIONE 'Farinelli rinasce' Era molto alto Ricostruito il volto Dalla prima analisi delle ossa del celebre cantore, si deduce che era alto un metro e 80 circa, ma si sperava che lo stato di conservazione dei resti fosse migliore

Bologna, 12 lug - Presumibilmente era alto tra il metro e 75 e il metro e 80, quindi molto per l'epoca, e nonostante la sua voce da usignolo doveva avere una corporatura robusta. Una prima occhiata alle ossa di Farinelli, al secolo Carlo Broschi, da' gia' qualche indicazione di come poteva essere fisicamente uno dei piu' grandi soprani del Settecento.

Un uomo dalla grande capacita' vocale, evirato tra i 9 e i 12 anni per permettergli di produrre note che solo le voci bianche o le donne sono in grado di emettere. Lo spiega la docente Maria Giovanna Belcastro, responsabile del Laboratorio di Bioarcheologia e Osteologia forense e del Museo di Antropologia di Bologna, una delle prima ad aver osservato, questa mattina alla Certosa di Bologna, i resti di Farinelli riesumato per studiarne le spoglia.

Un po' delusi per lo stato di conservazione delle ossa (il cadavere e' gia' stato traslato tre volte), che si sperava fosse migliore, i tanti esperti presenti questa mattina alla Certosa, sono comunque fiduciosi di poter reperire tante informazioni sul cantore.

Le sue spoglie erano posate in una cassetta (ai piedi della pronipote Maria Carlotta Pisani) e nonostante il loro stato non ottimale "non e' detto che non bastino a ricostruire il suo profilo biologico, le sue condizioni alla morte avvenuta all'eta' di 77 anni e anche le sue abitudini, la qualita' della sua vita, la sua alimentazione- aggiunge Belcastro- dalle ossa del viso potremmo anche ricostruire il suo volto, e pure il suo modo di sorridere davanti al pubblico".

Nato ad Andria, in Provincia di Bari nel 1705, Farinelli mori' a Bologna nel 1782, dove si esibi' piu' volte e ottenne anche la cittadinanza onoraria.La sua riesumazione si deve all'iniziativa di un antiquario fiorentino e appassionato della vita di Farinelli, Alberto Bruschi che ha dato il via all'operazione con un finanziamento privato.

Gli studi che ora verranno prodotti sono a cura dell' Universita' di Bologna, di Pisa e di York (in Gran Bretagna), dove insegna un esperto di studi antropologici della voce, David Howard. Ma vi partecipera' anche il Museo di Antropologia di Bologna oltre al Centro studi Farinelli.

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.

Felicissimo della partenza del progetto, Bruschi loda Bologna per "la grande velocita' nel rispondere alle mie richieste, in nove mesi, l'iniziativa e' partita. Oggi non abbiamo riesumato Farinelli, oggi Farinelli rinasce".

Farinelli dug up for Castrato secrets

By Wed Editor. Filed under Historyon July 13th, 2006

The famed Italian Baroque’castrato’ singer Farinelli has been dug up again so experts can try to find out what made these vanished virtuosi so special.

Scientists from Bologna’s Farinelli Centre and the universities of Bologna, Pisa, Florence and York - including renowned bio-engineer David Howard - began looking at the first parts of Farinelli on Wednesday.

So far jaw bones, bits of his skull and badly decayed parts of his lower limbs have come up from the Bologna grave. As well as trying to figure out the sound castrati could have made - the only known recording reportedly sounds like “Pavarotti on helium” - the teams will be trying to see whether castrati had normal bodies or grew out of proportion, becoming over-tall and developing abnormally large chests and breasts. http://www.italymag.co.uk/italy_regions/liguria_emilia_romagna/2006/history/farinelli-dug-up-for-castrato-secrets/ Pagina 1 di 6 Italy Magazine - Focus on Liguria and Emilia-Romagna - News, holiday, property, food and drink 17/07/2006 10:38 AM

The only known painting of Carlo Broschi aka Farinelli (1705-1782) shows him as a handsome if somewhat plump figure, more virile than camp. But some suspect Farinelli commissioned the portrait to show him not as he really was but as he wished to be.

As for his remarkable singing voice - able to scale more than three and a half octaves, some evidence of the physical machinery that produced it “should come from the softer parts of the mouth, if they’re still there,” said Bologna University’s Maria Giovanna Belcastro.

“But even if they have been destroyed, we should be able to get some idea of what made castrati tick from the size of the chest cavity. That should have been preserved”. The project aims to put together a post-mortem identikit of the legendary singer over the next year.

Called “the divine Farinelli” by contemporaries, Broschi became famous throughout Europe, and travelled extensively, from his home town Naples to London, where Handel was composing, to the court of King Philip V of Spain. The monarch was reportedly only able to be lifted from the depths of a severe depression by Farinelli’s soothing tones.

A well-received film was made about Farinelli in 1994 starring the pin-up actor Stefano Dionisi as the singer. It “recreated” Farinelli’s voice using a computer mix of a woman and a man’s voice.

The Baroque period (1600-1750) was the golden age for the castrato voice - although many castrati, if they strayed outside their adoring circles, were mocked for their effeminacy, for sexual and emotional problems, and for being overweight.

The voice officially died out in Europe in the early years of this century, although some early recordings of the castrato singer Alessandro Moreschi, who ran the Sistine Chapel choir in Rome until his death in 1922, give a vague impression of what it sounded like.

Throughout the Baroque age, and probably long before, boys aged 8-10 with good singing voices were castrated so that they could become professional singers. It was often seen as a way out of poverty. Castration preserved their voices from lowering during puberty, a procedure often covered up as an “accident”. It also kept growth hormones on tap - leading to some of the castratis’ physical problems.

Not only opera houses but also the papal choirs in the 16th century admitted castrati, although the Catholic Church finally condemned the practice in an 1878 decree - while keeping one in its own employ.

Changing musical and moral tastes wrote castrati out of roles, with few parts for castrati appearing after 1760. The last castrato opera performance took place in London in 1825, by Giovanni Battista Velluti.

In the Baroque period castrati and countertenors were in high demand as they sang both male and female roles, while women were often not allowed to sing on stage. Composers such as Handel, Rossini and Mozart were inspired by castrato singers, and wrote works specifically for them, making some roles very difficult for modern singers to achieve. For some, the music is transposed down to allow men to sing the roles, for others women sing the parts.

One of these is Handel’s Orlando (1733) which was written for the castrato Francesco Bernardi, called Il Senesino, who he got to know during travels in Italy. These days the role of Orlando is usually sung by a woman.

Big labels could fork out as much as €100 000 for the rights, some industry sources estimate.

“It just went incredibly fast and by Tuesday it was sheer madnesss,” Sebastien said.

“We are talking with four big labels and we could sign a deal tomorrow … Yes, it could become lucrative but if we can make everybody dance to it this summer, it will give us a good laugh,” he added.

A poll published this week showed 61% of French people have forgiven Zidane for the outburst which earned him a red card. Zidane’s sponsors have pledged to stick with him.

Draghi: structural reform of Bank of Italy underway

DRAGHI: STRUCTURAL REFORM OF BANK OF ITALY UNDERWAY (AGI) – Rome – The reform of the structure of the Bank of Italy is by now underway. This was stressed by it governor, Mario Draghi, reiterating that “the evolution of regulation and the practice of vigilance implies the availability of larger and more qualified resources. Market integration and technological innovation are pushes towards change for central banks as much as for banking systems”. “The July 4 meeting with unions”, continued the governor, “set in motion the re-thinking of the structure of the Bank of Italy: in its central administration, in its branches, and in its relations with the Italian Exchange Office. It is a direction which will most likely see the activities of certain areas expand and that of others contract. But the Bank of Italy long ago started to adapt to the new scene. Since the coming into force of the euro, its staff has been reduced by 10 pct, between 1996 and 2005 this reduction was, in absolute terms, 1,443 places, equal to 15 pct. An opportunity for the re-composition of the staff is offered by the approximately 1,600 employees who are expected to retire by 2010”. (AGI) -

Cercando il segreto della voce di Farinelli

A Bologna riesumati i resti del cantore nato ad Andria nel '700 e castrato a 12 anni

BOLOGNASono stati riesumati ieri nel cimitero monumentale della Certosa di Bologna i resti del famoso cantore evirato Carlo Broschi, detto il Farinelli,nato ad Andria e morto oltre due secoli fa. I frammenti ossei e altro materiale, come pollini, polveri e chiodi, verranno analizzati nei laboratori delle Università di Pisa e Bologna per ottenere informazioni sullo stile di vita e tracciare così un profilo biologico dell'artista. Il progetto di riesumazione è stato avviato dall'antiquario fiorentino Alberto Bruschi, che nove mesi fa ha coinvolto nell'operazione il Centro studi Farinelli di Bologna, l'Università di Bologna, di Pisa, di Firenze, la soprintendenza ai Beni archeologici dell'Emilia-Romagna e l'Università di York con il bio-ingegnere David Howard, studioso della fonazione. I lavori di riesumazione hanno portato alla luce parti di calotta cranica, un pezzo di mandibola con due denti e alcuni frammenti di ossa lunghe della parte inferiore appartenuti al cantore e non in buono stato, rovinati dall'umidità a detta degli esperti. Assieme a quelli di Farinelli anche i resti meglio conservati della nipote con cui è stato seppellito, la contessa Maria Carlotta Pisani che reggeva ancora nelle mani un rosario. I resti verranno fotografati, identificati, documentati e portati in due differenti laboratori per le analisi. Alla divisione di Paleopatologia del dipartimento di Oncologia dei trapianti dell'Università di Pisa verranno fatti esami di tipo microbiologico e molecolare sotto la supervisione del professor Gino Fornaciari, mentre al laboratorio di bioarcheologia e osteologia forense dell'Università di Bologna le analisi saranno di tipo antropologico. Ossa e denti infatti possono ancora fornire indicazioni su malattie, sul tipo di attività fisica, sul regime alimentare,su eventi traumatici e sulla loro cura. In questo modo i dati forniti daranno indicazioni sulla statura, sulla robustezza e sullo stile di vita del Farinelli, oltre che sulla cura della sua attività canora e della sua sessualità. Gli studiosi non escludono la possibilità di un identikit forense da confrontare con i ritratti del cantante finora pervenuti. Le ossa dopo gli studi, che si suppone dureranno circa un anno, verranno inumate di nuovo al cimitero della Certosa. E a proposito delle eccezionali doti di canto del Farinelli (favorite dall'asportazione dei genitali all'età di 12 anni), la professoressa Maria Giovanna Belcastro dell'Università di Bologna spiega: «Informazioni sulla fonazione si possono desumere dalle parti molli, ma in loro assenza si potrebbe sapere qualcosa di più dalla cassa toracica se fosse bene conservata». La riesumazione di Farinelli è stata voluta da Bruschi sulla scia del «Progetto Medici», lo studio delle deposizioni funerarie della famiglia dei Medici nella basilica di San Lorenzo a Firenze curato dal professor Fornaciari e supportato dall'Università di Firenze. Bruschi ha finanziato questa prima parte del progetto con 2.500 euro. Farinelli morì a Bologna nel 1782 e fu sepolto nel convento dei cappuccini di san Michele Bosco (oggi Villa Revedin). Traslato nel 1810 nel cimitero dei cappuccini alla Certosa, nel 1845 la nipote ne fece trasferire il corpo nel loculo del chiostro Maggiore che ancora lo ospita. Nel 1850 anche Carlotta Pisani fu seppellita assieme al cantore e per farle posto, le ossa di Farinelli furono ammucchiate ai suoi piedi. Durante la sua brillante carriera, Farinelli si esibì molte volte a Bologna: nell'estate 1727, a soli 22 anni, interpretò il ruolo di Ceraste nell'Antigona di Orlandini. Il 6 luglio del 1730 Farinelli e il fratello Riccardo Broschi furono ammessi all'Accademia Filarmonica di Bologna come membri onorari. Di nuovo a Bologna nel 1731 con il Farnace di Porta e nel 1733 con il Siroe di Hasse, il Farinelli fu insignito della cittadinanza bolognese nell'ottobre 1732 e un mese più tardi acquistò un podere fuori Porta Lame. Dopo un lungo soggiorno in Spagna, si stabilì definitivamente a Bologna nell'agosto del 1761, rimanendovi fino alla morte. Nel 1994 gli fu dedicato un film, Farinelli voce regina con la regia di Gerard Corbiau e le interpretazioni di Stefano Dionisi e Enrico Lo Verso. ansa

Un’operazione che un team di scienziati, coordinato dall’antropologa sul quotidiano Giovanna Belcastro su autorizzazione del centro studi Farinelli, compirà per ottenere le informazioni necessarie a ricostruire il profilo biologico del noto cantore. 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 ed il museo di antropologia bolognese. A coordinare il gruppo di scienziati ci sono anche il paleopatologo Gino Fornaciari dell’Università di Pisa e l’ingegnere David Howard dell’Università di York. Debuttò a Napoli a quindici anni, e in seguito interpretò i migliori ruoli di soprano nelle opere, non solo in patria ma anche a Londra, Vienna e Madrid.

Detestato da Häendel , della sua voce possediamo una descrizione contemporanea che ne sottolinea la forza, estensione e toni melliflui, la rapidità della sua coloratura, e la capacità di stupire il pubblico per la capacità, dovuta alla formazione naturale dei suoi polmoni e l’abilità nella respirazione, di prolungare la voce in misura assolutamente straordinaria. In 1746, durante il regno di Fernando VI, Farinelli si stabilì in Spagna e fu nominato dal monarca direttore dei divertimenti reali. Progettò un piano di rappresentazioni per il Real Coliseo del Buen Retiro di Madrid ed il Real Sitio di Aranjuez, con una descrizione dettagliata della squadriglia utilizzata per i sovrani e la sua comitiva per navigare per il fiume Tago. Nella capitale della Spagna, divenne il favorito di Filippo V, che arrivò a risultargli imprescindibile Contattaci che Farinelli non gli cantasse per le notti per potere conciliare il sonno.

L’indagine sui suoi resti saranno condotte «utilizzando tutte le moderne tecnologie come i raggi X, la Tac, le indagini immunologiche e biomolecolari», si legge sul sito on line del Cimitero monumentale della Certosa di Bologna. Grazie a queste tecniche sofisticate, gli scienziati contano così di ottenere dati inediti su Farinelli e il suo stile di vita intorno al quale, negli anni del suo massimo successo, ma anche dopo la sua morte avvenuta nel 1782, si è destato un interesse mai spentosi nel tempo. La figura di Farinelli è diventata popolare anche presso il grande pubblico dopo il successo del film “Farinelli - Voce Regina”, girato nel 1994 da Gerard Corbiau con Stefano Dionisi nella parte del celeberrimo castrato e compositore, amante delle donne ma incapace di concludere ogni rapporto. Un mistero, il suo, che forse, finalmente, sarà svelato.

Roma, 12 de julio. Historiadores y científicos han exhumado los restos del legendario castrato Farinelli, en Italia, para realizar un estudio sobre los efectos anatómicos de la castración en niños para convertirlos en estrellas de la ópera.

Los castrati interpretaron papeles masculinos heroicos en la ópera italiana desde mediados del siglo XVII hasta finales del XVIII, cuando el bel canto estaba en boga en Europa.

Farinelli, cuyo nombre auténtico era Carlo Broschi, nació en 1705 y fue el más famoso de todos durante una carrera que se extendió de 1720 a 1737.

Carlo Vitale, del Centro de Estudios Farinelli en Bolonia, dijo que el miércoles habían recuperado los restos del cantante y de una sobrina nieta, que trasladó su cadáver desde una primera tumba destruida durante las guerras napoleónicas. Su lugar final de descanso, en el cementerio Certosa de esa ciudad, fue descubierto recientemente.

''Están en un estado de conservación regular, pero los científicos dicen que aún hay material para trabajar'', manifestó Vitale a Reuters, en el cementerio donde Farinelli y su sobrina nieta yacían en una tumba con un largo epitafio en latín. http://www.jornada.unam.mx/2006/07/13/a04n1cul.php Pagina 1 di 2 Exhuman los restos de Farinelli para develar los secretos de los castrati 17/07/2006 12:33 PM

Sus restos iban a ser trasladados a la Universidad de Bolonia para su estudio por un equipo de científicos, entre los que figura un experto en acústica que está ansioso por encontrar restos de cuerdas vocales y laringe, que servirán para descubrir qué hacía que los castrati tuvieran un rango vocal de tan extraordinario alcance y tanta potencia.

Gran capacidad pulmonar y dulce voz

''Este es el único esqueleto que tenemos de ellos'', dijo Nicholas Clapton, experto británico en los castrati.

''Queremos saber si ellos eran como los representaban entonces en las caricaturas, altos y desgarbados, o con pechos de mujer y grandes glúteos; o como el espléndido caballero de los retratos oficiales de Farinelli'', dijo Clapton.

Profesor de canto en la Real Academia de Música de Londres y curador de una exposición sobre el uso de los castrati del compositor Handel, Clapton dijo que la extirpación de los testículos de los niños coristas mantenía sus cuerdas vocales reducidas, mientras el cambio hormonal alteraba sus cuerpos.

''Esto les daba gran capacidad pulmonar, pero con una dulce voz'', señaló.

Lo anterior significaría que los castrati crecían anormalmente altos o gordos y les podían crecer pechos, aunque retratos oficiales que han perdurado de Farinelli lo describen como un atractivo hombre, bien vestido.

Los castrati también tenían sus críticos, que pensaban que sus voces eran espantosas y sus mutilaciones bárbaras. La Iglesia católica lo prohibió con excomunión, a pesar de que utilizaban castrati en sus coros y en la Capilla Sixtina hasta fechas tan recientes como 1903, dijo Clapton.

El último sobreviviente castrato, Alessandro Moreschi, corista de la Capilla Sixtina, tuvo una larga vida que le permitió grabar discos entre 1902 y 1904, aunque su voz suena lo que Clapton describe como ''Pavarotti con helio''.

APERTA IERI IN CERTOSA LA TOMBA DEL CANTORE SETTECENTESCO: SI TENTERÀ DI RICOSTRUIRNE IL VOLTO E IL PROFILO BIOLOGICO Farinelli, magia di una voce Nelle ossa il suo segreto Riesumati i resti del celebre castrato

«Ossa degli arti inferiori, una mandibola, il femore, due denti, frammenti di cranio». Questo è quel che resta di Farinelli, voce bianca regina del Settecento, uomo alto, bello e robusto che con il suo canto faceva svenire le donne e rinsavire i re. La salma del «castrato cantore» che amò Bologna e a Bologna morì nel 1783, a settantasette anni, è stata riesumata ieri da un gruppo di ricercatori delle Università di Bologna, Firenze, Pisa, e York. Un manipolo di scienziati tenuti insieme dall ímpegno del centro Studi Farinelli e dallíspirazione di un mecenate fiorentino, Andrea Bruschi. Tutti a caccia del segreto della voce regina attorno al suo loculo: lungo e largo quanto gli altri, nascosto e tranquillo sotto uno dei tanti portici del cimitero della Certosa, portico del chiostro maggiore, arco 121, numero 1. La speranza è che ammonticchiato tra quei pochi resti possa essere conservato qualche segreto sulla sua vita. Che volto, che corporatura aveva Farinelli? Coméra il suo sorriso? Come visse e come morì? «È quello che cercheremo di scoprire» spiega la dottoressa Maria Giovanna Belcastro, responsabile del laboratorio di Bio-archeologia dellÚniversità di Bologna e del museo di Antropologia. Lei lo chiama «profilo biologico dellártista», in realtà si tratta della storia della sua vita. Quella che a lui non sarebbe forse parso nemmeno di raccontare, e che pure di lui dice tanto. La sua salute, la sua alimentazione, i suoi gusti, le sue inclinazioni. Più di un ritratto, più dellímmaginazione. È scienza, è dna. Anche se «la ricostruzione completa del codice genetico sarebbe un vero miracolo» sospira Sandra Mazzoli, dirigente dellÁsl di Firenze e responsabile dello studio del Dna microbico. Segreti della vita e di una voce capace di estendersi a tal punto che tanti sospettavano si servisse di qualche «strumento per mantenerla». Voce bianca, senza sesso. Come lui, evirato tra i nove e i dodici anni, prima che potesse sviluppare caratteri sessuali. Difficile però che le analisi ci rivelino qualcosa su quella straordinaria estensione vocale perché «certe informazioni si potrebbero desumere solo dalle parti molli», spiega la Belcastro. Le corde vocali, ad esempio. O i polmoni. Niente che si sia conservato. E tuttavia qualcosa lo scheletro può dirlo lo stesso: «La circonferenza della cassa toracica ad esempio, o lámpiezza della cavità della bocca potrebbero indicare la particolare predisposizione per il canto». Una conseguenza certa della castrazione è legata anche alla conformazione fisica: «Farinelli era molto alto», dice la Belcastro, «I resoconti dellépoca lo dicevano, ma ora ne abbiamo la conferma, perché le sue ossa sono lunghe e robuste. Un tratto tipico dei castrati». Foto, analisi e rilevamenti dureranno per oltre un anno. Poi i risultati, e il ritorno della salma alla Certosa. Intanto sulla scienza prevale la poesia. «Sono emozionato», confessa Andrea Bruschi, collezionista e antiquario fiorentino ispiratore dellíniziativa, «siamo di fronte a un artista immenso, ma anche a un uomo amabile, che fu anche molto triste. Chissà che cosa aveva davvero dentro di sé. Questo gli studi non potranno mai rivelarcelo». (13 luglio 2006) Torna indietro

Italians dig up 18th century castrato singer for research

The remains of the celebrated 18th century Italian castrato Farinelli have been exhumed to find more about his peculiar powers as a singer, a university professor said.

"We are looking for additional information about possible pathological signs in the singer, whether or not linked to the fact that he was castrated," said Professor Gino Fornaciari of Pisa University.

The remains were removed from a cemetery in the northern city of Bologna where the singer died in 1782.

Maria Giovanna Belcastro of the laboratory of bioarcheology of Bologna University told the newspaper La Repubblica analysis of the remains "could tell us about the circumference of his rib cage and the size of his mouth."

The remains of the celebrated Any physical peculiarities might explain the legendary singing gifts of 18th century Italian castrato Farinelli, whose real name was Carlo Broschi, and who achieved Farinelli, depicted here in a European fame in the first half of the 18th century. painting, have been exhumed to find more about his peculiar powers as a singer. Born in Naples in 1705, he settled in Madrid where he had great influence at court and on political life due to his popularity with the monarch.

He returned to Italy in 1759 and settled in Bologna for the rest of his life.

The research project on his remains involves the Italian universities of Bologna, Pisa and Florence, and York University in Britain.

"We have exhumed the entire skeleton but it is in very poor condition," said Fornaciari.

"The operation was very delicate because his bones were piled beside those of his niece who was buried with him."

Bologna University would reconstitute and restore the skeleton before proper work of analysis could begin, he said.

"We would like to find out more about his lifestyle by investigating his diet and his morphology, although we already know he was big and naturally robust," said Fornaciari.

Italie : les restes du castrat Farinelli exhumés pour être analysés

Les restes du célèbre chanteur lyrique italien Carlo Broschi, connu sous le nom de Farinelli et mort il y a deux siècles, ont été exhumés du cimetière de Bologne (centre) afin d'obtenir des informations sur le castrat à la voix extraordinaire, a annoncé jeudi un universitaire.

L'Université de Bologne va reconstituer et consolider le squelette "avant que d'autres analyses ne puissent être effectuées", a-t-il indiqué.

C'est un antiquaire florentin passionné de chant lyrique, Alberto Bruschi, qui est à l'origine du projet, auquel participent les universités italiennes de Bologne, Florence et de Pise, ainsi que l'université britannique de York.

Farinelli fut l'un des castrats qui remporta le plus de succès et se produisit dans toute l'Europe dans la première moitié du XVIIIe siècle.

Né en 1705 à Naples, il s'établit à Madrid en 1737 où il exerça une influence importante sur la cour et sur la vie politique grâce à la faveur des monarques. Il regagna l'Italie en 1759 et s'établit à Bologne où il mourut en 1782.

"Nous cherchons des informations supplémentaires sur d'éventuelles pathologies du chanteur, liées ou non au fait qu'il ait été castré", a expliqué le professeur Gino Fornaciari.

"Nous aimerions avoir des éléments sur son style de vie par le biais de son régime alimentaire, et sur sa morphologie, bien que nous puissions déjà dire qu'il était grand et de robuste constitution", a-t-il ajouté.

Selon Maria Giovanna Belcastro, responsable du laboratoire de Bioarchéologie de l'Université de Bologne, l'analyse des restes du castrat "pourra nous apprendre la circonférence de sa cage thoracique, et la taille de la bouche", a-t-elle indiqué au quotidien La Repubblica. Ces particularités morphologiques expliqueront peut-être les exceptionnels dons de chant de Farinelli.

A prática nasceu na Itália do século 17, onde anualmente cerca de 4 mil garotos, em geral de famílias pobres, eram castrados a partir dos oito anos de idade.

O procedimento foi banido em 1870, mas o último castrato, Alessandro Moreschi, ainda chegou a gravar em 1902.

Poucos castrati chegavam ao sucesso, mas os que o faziam se tornavam as estrelas artísticas de seu tempo, e se comportavam como tal.

Os que conseguiam ir além de uma vida relativamente desconhecida como cantores de ópera ou solistas de igreja cobravam cachês astronômicos e tinham legiões de admiradores.

O temperamental Farinelli, provavelmente o mais famoso dos castrati, foi enterrado em Bolonha em roupas de cavaleiro.

Francofolies : une 22e édition à l'esprit intact

La 22e édition des Francofolies de La Rochelle (Charente- Maritime), qui est aussi la deuxième depuis la passation de pouvoir de leur créateur, Jean-Louis Foulquier, reste fidèle à l'esprit originel de ce festival renommé, dont la nouvelle équipe dirigeante a cette année axé ses efforts sur l'accueil du public.

Les Francos s'ouvriront ce jeudi pour se clore cinq jours plus tard, le 18 juillet. Entre ces deux dates, le festival mettra en valeur la diversité des musiques francophones, de la chanson au hip hop en passant par le rock.

Le ton sera donné dès la première soirée, qui verra se produire sur les six scènes des artistes aussi différents que Pauline Croze, Diam's, Hubert-Félix Thiéfaine, Cali, Dominique A, Emilie Simon ou Yann Tiersen.

Au fil de ses six soirées, le festival verra ensuite défiler, parmi bien d'autres artistes, Saïan Supa Crew, Têtes Raides, les Wampas, Anaïs, Dionysos, Louise Attaque, Dick Rivers, Raphaël, Grand Corps Malade, Bénabar, Asyl, Indochine ou Agnès Jaoui.

« La programmation est proche de nous, ce sont des artistes qu'on a envie de défendre. Foulquier avait fixé la ligne, on y reste fidèle » , explique Gérard Pont, l'un des dirigeants de Morgane Production, la société audiovisuelle repreneuse des Francofolies en décembre 2004.

L'an passé, lui et son équipe avaient sauté dans l'inconnu pour leur première édition à la tête du festival, qui s'était soldée par un beau succès public avec plus de 60.000 entrées payantes (l'un des trois meilleurs résultats depuis la création de la manifestation en 1985).

Now the body of Farinelli, the most famous castrato opera singer, is to be exhumed to learn how he achieved such dulcet tones. "Farinelli was more famous than Madonna, Johnny Depp and David Beckham combined," says Nicholas Clapton, curator of a London exhibition on castrati at the Handel House Museum. His body, originally buried in 1782, is to be exhumed on 12 July and studied by researchers in Italy to see how childhood castration, performed on prospective singers to stop their voices breaking, affected bone structure. A lack of testosterone should have limited the growth of the hyoid bone of the larynx, giving the castrati a child's voice, while the ribs should grow longer, making space for larger lungs with greater volume and sound control.

The Guild’s popular opera discussion area. Carlo Vitale, who works with the Centre for Farinelli Studies, told the Telegraph that the castrato's remains were "a middling state of preservation," but "the scientists say there is something to work on."

The practice of castrating young boys began in the sixteenth century, when kapellmeisters relied on male sopranos to sing the uppermost choral lines in chapel choirs — females were barred from partaking in the Roman Catholic liturgy. In 1589, Pope Sixtus V even approved the recruitment of castrati for the choir at St. Peter's Basilica.

Subsequently, castrati were employed by composers including Handel, Scarlatti and Vivaldi in operas during the seventeenth and eighteenth century. The cult of personality and success surrounding the singers grew to be so great that it became common practice for poverty stricken peasant families to offer up their sons for castration. Some historians even estimate that nearly seventy percent of opera singers during this time were castrati, with an estimated 4,000 boys eight-years and older castrated each year.

Farinelli, who was born in Puglia in 1705, studied with Nicola Porpora, a master of vocal pedagogy at the time. His public debut came in 1720 when he sang in Porpora's Angelica e Medoro. The following two years found him performing in a number of operas by Porpora, Pollaroli and Vinci throughout northern Italy. He achieved near-instant fame after taking part in a Lincoln's Inn Fields performance of Artaserse, by his brother Riccardo Broschi, in 1723.

In 1737 his public singing career effectively ended with his conscription by Elisabetta Farnese, niece of the duke Antonio Farnese, to lift her husband, King Philip V of Spain, out of an oppressive depression. He lived in favor with the monarchy for nearly three decades, until the accession of Charles III, upon which time he returned to Bologna. He died at the age of seventy-seven, but the location of his remains were unknown until their recent discovery in Bologna's Certosa cemetery. http://www.metoperafamily.org/operanews/news/pressrelease.aspx?id=1222 Pagina 1 di 2 Opera News > The Met Opera Guild 18/07/2006 03:42 PM

Kastrat Farinelli: Forscher exhumierten Überreste Forscher haben in Italien die Überreste des legendären Opernsängers Farinelli ausgegraben. Der Kastrat wurde exhumiert, um neue Informationen über das Geheimnis seiner außergewöhnlichen Stimme zu erhalten.

Die Forscher hoffen auf Erkenntnisse über mögliche Krankheiten oder Fehlbildungen des Sängers und deren Auswirkung auf seinen Gesang, sagte Projektkoordinator Gino Fornaciari von der Universität Pisa.

Die Wissenschaftler interessieren sich unter anderem für Farinellis Lebensstil und seine Ernährung sowie Besonderheiten seines Körperbaus.

Schwierige Rekonstruktion Farinellis Skelett sei allerdings stark beschädigt, berichtete Fornaciari. Seine Bergung auf dem Friedhof von Bologna sei schwierig gewesen, weil die Überreste des Sängers eng neben dem Skelett seiner mit ihm begrabenen Nichte lagen.

Die Universität in Bologna muss die Knochen nun erst rekonstruieren und sichern, bevor weitere Untersuchungen durchgeführt werden können. Schon jetzt könne er aber sagen, dass Farinelli groß und kräftig war, sagte der Projektleiter.

An dem Ausgrabungsprojekt beteiligen sich die Universitäten von Bologna, Florenz und Pisa sowie die britische Universität von York.

Hohes Ansehen von Kastraten Kastraten waren im europäischen Musikleben des 17. und 18. Jahrhunderts weit verbreitet und genossen oft hohes Ansehen. Farinelli war in der ersten Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts einer der europaweit bekanntesten und erfolgreichsten Sänger.

Er wurde 1705 in Neapel geboren und starb 1782 in Bologna. Während seiner Zeit in Madrid genoss er die Gunst der spanischen Königsfamilie und hatte großen Einfluss auf die Politik und den Hof.

Korte tijd geleden werd op het kerkhof Certosa in Bologna de laatste rustplaats van Farinelli ontdekt. De Italiaan is de beroemdste castraatzanger van de 18e eeuw. Van de andere beroemde castraten uit dit tijdperk is niet bekend waar hun stoffelijke overschotten zich bevinden.

Wetenschappers hopen dat het skelet van Farinelli duidelijkheid verschaft over zijn lichaamsbouw en over het enorme vocale bereik en de stemkracht die Farinelli en andere castraten hadden. Door de castratie ontwikkelden de zangers een zoet stemgeluid terwijl ze wel over en grote longinhoud beschikten. Farnelli werd vermoedelijk gecastreerd toen hij zeven of acht jaar oud was.

In Bologna, Remains of Legendary Castrato Farinelli Are Exhumed for Study

By Matthew Westphal July 13, 2006

"The divine Farinelli," once the most popular and best-paid opera singer in all Europe, has emerged from the grave to reveal his secrets.

Not by himself, of course — his remains were taken from his tomb in Bologna yesterday by a team of scientists, historians and music scholars.

Farinelli, né Carlo Broschi in Puglia in 1705, was considered in his day (and perhaps ever since) the greatest of the castrati, male singers who were neutered as children in order to preserve their "angelic" high voices, so that they could sing with the purity, sweetness and high range of a woman and the power of a full-grown man.

Though the practice seems to have begun in Spain in the late 1500s, castrati were largely an Italian phenomenon. During their vogue, roughly 1600-1760, the greatest castrati were wildly popular and well-paid, in demand not only for opera but also for the treble parts in sacred music, which women were generally not allowed to sing. Handel and Vivaldi are the best- known opera composers to have used star castrati, though Rossini, a century later, wrote a few starring roles for them. (In some countries, castrati were always shunned as the products of barbaric cruelty — notably France, which preferred its operatic heroes to be high and light tenors.) Castrating young boys was always nominally illegal, even in Italy — its victims were always said to have been injured in accidents — but the Vatican only stamped out the practice in 1878, and continued to employ castrati in its own choirs into the early 20th century.

Farinelli was educated in the conservatories of Naples and began his wildly successful stage career — historians often compare his popularity (and income) to that of a modern-day rock star — in 1720. Contrary to myth, he never sang for Handel; much of the time he performed operas specially composed for him by his brother Riccardo. He gave up the stage entirely in 1737 and became a private musician to King Philip V of Spain, for whose melancholia Farinelli's singing was said to be the only cure. He eventually retired to an estate near Bologna, where he died in 1782. His life was depicted (none too accurately) in Gérard Corbiau's popular 1994 film Farinelli.

Musicologie Farinelli exhumé

Une scène du film de Gérard Corbiau, paru en 1994.

Le corps de Carlo Broschi, alias Farinelli, a été exhumé d'un cimetière de Bologne, en Italie.

Selon Carlo Vitale, du centre d'étude sur Farinelli, les restes sont dans un état de conservation médiocre.

Des historiens et des scientifiques procéderont quand même à une série de tests qui permettront peut-être de mieux comprendre comment l'anatomie du célèbre chanteur a réagi à la castration.

Les chercheurs de l'université de Bologne, dont un spécialiste de l'acoustique, espèrent analyser les restes des cordes vocales et du larynx du chanteur. Ils analyseront aussi les os qui, même après plusieurs siècles, pourraient donner des indications sur les habitudes alimentaires de l'homme et ses maladies. Le crâne donnera aussi des indices sur les traits de son visage, dont on sait peu de choses.

Portrait du chanteur Farinelli (1705- 1782),

Né en 1705 près de Naples, il a été opéré dès son plus jeune âge afin de conserver son timbre de voix de petit garçon. Le virtuose est mort à Bologne en 1782.

Les experts estiment que l'ablation des glandes génitales des petits garçons empêchait la croissance des cordes vocales malgré les changements d'un corps devenant adulte. Les castrats pouvaient aussi grossir ou grandir anormalement et même voir leurs seins pousser.

FARINELLI,RIESUMATI A BOLOGNA RESTI CANTORE

Sono stati riesumati,nel cimitero monumentale della Certosa di Bologna, i resti del cantore evirato Carlo Broschi, il famoso Farinelli,morto due secoli fa

Allo studio dei ricercatori delle uni- versità di Pisa e di Bologna, per ottenere informazioni sullo stile di vita e tracciare un profilo biologico dell'artista, frammenti ossei e altro materiale, come pollini e polveri. Insieme ai resti del grande cantante ci sono i resti, meglio conservati, della nipote con cui è stato seppellito, la contessa Maria Calotta Pisani. Gli studiosi non escludono che si possa tracciare un i- dentikit di Farinelli da confrontare con i ritratti finora pervenuti.

Aperta ieri in Certosa la tomba del cantore settecentesco: si tenterà di ricostruirne il volto e il profilo biologico Farinelli, magia di una voce Nelle ossa il suo segreto Riesumati i resti del celebre castrato

La sua prodigiosa estensione vocale faceva svenire le donne e rinsavire i sovrani Un´équipe di ricerca internazionale per scoprire come usava il suo timbro asessuato SILVIA BIGNAMI

«Ossa degli arti inferiori, una mandibola, il femore, due denti, frammenti di cranio». Questo è quel che resta di Farinelli, voce bianca regina del Settecento, uomo alto, bello e robusto che con il suo canto faceva svenire le donne e rinsavire i re. La salma del «castrato cantore» che amò Bologna e a Bologna morì nel 1783, a settantasette anni, è stata riesumata ieri da un gruppo di ricercatori delle Università di Bologna, Firenze, Pisa, e York. Un manipolo di scienziati tenuti insieme dallímpegno del centro Studi Farinelli e dallíspirazione di un mecenate fiorentino, Andrea Bruschi. Tutti a caccia del segreto della voce regina attorno al suo loculo: lungo e largo quanto gli altri, nascosto e tranquillo sotto uno dei tanti portici del cimitero della Certosa, portico del chiostro maggiore, arco 121, numero 1. La speranza è che ammonticchiato tra quei pochi resti possa essere conservato qualche segreto sulla sua vita. Che volto, che corporatura aveva Farinelli? Coméra il suo sorriso? Come visse e come morì? «È quello che cercheremo di scoprire» spiega la dottoressa Maria Giovanna Belcastro, responsabile del laboratorio di Bio-archeologia dellÚniversità di Bologna e del museo di Antropologia. Lei lo chiama «profilo biologico dellártista», in realtà si tratta della storia della sua vita. Quella che a lui non sarebbe forse parso nemmeno di raccontare, e che pure di lui dice tanto. La sua salute, la sua alimentazione, i suoi gusti, le sue inclinazioni. Più di un ritratto, più dellímmaginazione. È scienza, è dna. Anche se «la ricostruzione completa del codice genetico sarebbe un vero miracolo» sospira Sandra Mazzoli, dirigente dellÁsl di Firenze e responsabile dello studio del Dna microbico. Segreti della vita e di una voce capace di estendersi a tal punto che tanti sospettavano si servisse di qualche «strumento per mantenerla». Voce bianca, senza sesso. Come lui, evirato tra i nove e i dodici anni, prima che potesse sviluppare caratteri sessuali. Difficile però che le analisi ci rivelino qualcosa su quella straordinaria estensione vocale perché «certe informazioni si potrebbero desumere solo dalle parti molli», spiega la Belcastro. Le corde vocali, ad esempio. O i polmoni. Niente che si sia conservato. E tuttavia qualcosa lo scheletro può dirlo lo stesso: «La circonferenza della cassa toracica ad esempio, o lámpiezza della cavità della bocca potrebbero indicare la particolare predisposizione per il canto». Una conseguenza certa della castrazione è legata anche alla conformazione fisica: «Farinelli era molto alto», dice la Belcastro, «I resoconti dell época lo dicevano, ma ora ne abbiamo la conferma, perché le sue ossa sono lunghe e robuste. Un tratto tipico dei castrati». Foto, analisi e rilevamenti dureranno per oltre un anno. Poi i risultati, e il ritorno della salma alla Certosa. Intanto sulla scienza prevale la poesia. «Sono emozionato», confessa Andrea Bruschi, collezionista e antiquario fiorentino ispiratore dellíniziativa, «siamo di fronte a un artista immenso, ma anche a un uomo amabile, che fu anche molto triste. Chissà che cosa aveva davvero dentro di sé.
