The banks of the Tiber nature, yet without walls, but just with a row of pegs wood driven into a sort of piles embedded in the muddy waters, which were used to stop the tongues of sand. Unbelievable but true, the left is the unadorned statement river of Appollo Tor di Nona, the opera of the time, later slain in the name of the Tiber.

 

 

Survives in a plaque, placed also in memory of two works by Verdi that you go on stage premiere.
