Booklet

Fausto Maria Martini composed a poem cinema-musicale
published in a small booklet along with pictures from the film.
Those pictures are reproduced below. Another author, Alfa (pseudonym
of baron Alberto Fassini), is also credited, probably as the
co-author of the scenario of Rapsodia Satanica. The poem was
most likely composed by Martini only, being signed by him. A letter
of Mascagni dated December 23, 1914, confirms this:
"[...] Fausto Maria Martini, che farà un poema in versi sulla
Rapsodia. [...]"
Epistolary source: Mario Morini, Roberto Iovino, Alberto Paloscia,
Pietro Mascagni, Epistolario
Volume II, Libreria Musicale Italiana, 1997.
The complete scanned
booklet is also available.
