In response of a Countess' Cocktail Invitation, the composer Vittorio Rieti writes this letter, reporting he will arrive with the avant-garde and Surrealist director Carlo Bragaglia, famous for the Teatro degli Indipendenti (Rome 1922-1931) and with the Italian composers Mario Labroca and Alfredo Casella. He also suggests the countess has to invite someone from the troupe of the American composer Kurt Weill: extending the invitation to the American conductor Maurice Abravanel. It is clear that both Vitorio Rieti and Countess Pecci Blunt are looking for allies and participants for their Spring Concerts.
Vittorio Rieti (Alessandria d'Egitto, 1898 – New York, 1994)
Vittorio Rieti was a Jewish-Italian-American composer, best-known for his tonal and neo-classical music. Firstly he moved to Milan to study economics and after in Rome under Respighi and Casella, and lived there until 1940. In 1925, he temporarily moved to Paris and composed music for George Balanchine's ballet for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, Barabau. In 1940 Rieti emigrated to the United States, becoming a naturalized American citizen on the 1st of June 1944. He taught at the Peabody Conservatory of Music in Baltimore (1948–49), Chicago Musical College (1950–54), Queens College, New York (1958–60), and New York College of Music (1960–64).
Countess Anna Laetitia Pecci (Rome, 1885 - Marlia, 1971)
Best-known as Mimì, the Italian noblewoman was an art collector, patron and nephew of Pope Leo XIII. Extremely volcanic, she was very active in the cultural field, opening numerous lounges, galleries and theaters. In 1919 she married Cecil Blumenthal, later changed to Blunt, a wealthy Jewish banker from New York, heir to an important collection of nineteenth-century French painting. His Parisian and Roman salons was attended by artists and intellectuals of the caliber of Salvador Dalì, Paul Valery, Poulenc, Paul Claudel, she organized night musics and Springs Concerts calling the most talentuous musicians at the time.
