In celebration of Scriptum's continued collaboration with the world of Italian opera, we have designed a range of leather bookmarks, each decorated with an excerpt from some of our most cherished arias.
These arias have been carefully paired with a colourful leather, embossed in gold foil, and encased within ornate, Scriptum motif.
'Che gelida manina' from Puccini's La Bohème:
"Che gelida manina se la lasci riscaldar Cercar che giova?"
What a cold little hand, let me warm it for you.. What's the use of looking?
'Un bel dì, vedremo' from Puccini's Madama Butterfly:
"Tieni la tua paura io con sicura fede lo aspetto"
Hold on to your fear, I await him in sure faith.
'Nessun Dorma' from Puccini's Turandot:
"All'alba, vincerò! Vincerò! Vincerò!"
At dawn, I will win! I will win! I will win!
'Vissi d'arte' from Puccini's Tosca:
"Vissi d'arte, vissi d'amore non feci mai male ad anima viva!"
I lived for art, I lived for love, I never harmed a living soul!
'Ebben? Ne andrò lontana' from Catalani's La Wally:
"Là, fra la neve bianca, ne andrò, ne andrò sola e Iontana! E fra le nubi d'ôr!"
There, amidst the white snow, I will go. I will go alone and far away. Amidst the golden clouds!
