Povero Valentino-(The Death of Rudolph Valentino)-sung by Gilda Mignonette-(1926)

This 12-inch 78 RPM phonograph record laments the death of film superstar Rudolph Valentino. It is from the collection of Ciro's paternal grandmother, Genoveffa Barbaro. Gilda Mignonette was a very popular Italian singer of the day. Give a listen: she sings the heck out of this, with an intensity befitting the mass hysteria that ensued with Valentino's passing. A photomentary accompanies the music.
