Composer (1797–1848), born in Bergamo, Italy. He studied music at Bergamo and Bologna, and produced his first opera in 1818 at Venice. The work which carried his fame beyond Italy was Anna Bolena (1830), and he had several other successes, notably Lucia di Lammermoor (1835). Stricken by paralysis, he became mentally ill. ALS in Italian, signed “Donizetti,” one page, 7 x 8, no date. Letter to his friend, tenor and singing teacher Giovanni Marco Bordogni. In full (translated): “One of my 5 doctors has asked me not to go on a fast. All of you should dine for me, God knows how. I thank you 1000 times.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, a couple small binder holes, and scattered light toning and soiling.
