It's disappeared again. All links now redirect to [https://www.belviveremedia.com/amadeus?r=&alm_sett=&alm_giorno=&alm_mese=&alm_anno=&alm_testo=Tadolini this site]. I'm keeping an eye out to see if the almanacco re-surfaces, but so far it's nowhere to be found on the new site. Grrrr! [[User:Voceditenore|Voceditenore]] ([[User talk:Voceditenore|talk]]) 15:49, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

::I attempted to adapt [[Template:Almanacco]] to the new URL and its parameters; it seems to work. Lamentably, I discovered only later that [[User:Rodomonte|Rodomonte]] had already modified [[:de:Vorlage:Almanacco]] similarly – that template hadn't been linked to the EN template via interwiki links (now corrected). -- [[User:Michael Bednarek|Michael Bednarek]] ([[User talk:Michael Bednarek|talk]]) 14:18, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

<!-- [[User:DoNotArchiveUntil]] 11:27, 31 August 2029 (UTC) -->{{User:ClueBot III/DoNotArchiveUntil|1882870074}}
As part of the [[:it:Progetto:GLAM/Archivio Ricordi|GLAM project with the Ricordi Archive]], the most important historical archive in Italy about music, we have just uploaded hundreds of new quality images: photos and portraits of musicians, sketches, drawings, illustrations of operas. Many Wikipedia articles will finally have an illustration! You can find all images in [[Commons:Category:Media from Archivio Storico Ricordi‎ ]] ([[commons:Category:Archivio Storico Ricordi|here divided by category]]).

:In the meantime, [[:File:Giacomo Puccini (1924) - Archivio Storico Ricordi FOTO003293 - Restoration.jpg]]. Would have  liked more resolution on that - featured pictures generally require 1500px on the smallest side, though that one's close enough it might slip through - but I've been wanting us to have a good pic of Puccini for ''years'', and am glad this lets that happen. <span style="text-shadow:grey 0.118em 0.118em 0.118em; class=texhtml">'''[[User:Adam Cuerden|Adam Cuerden]]''' <sup>([[User talk:Adam Cuerden|talk]])</sup><sub>Has about 7.5% of all [[WP:FP|FPs]]</sub></span> 07:33, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

I think Rossini and Pacini are a little early. There was a ''Belfagor''image, but it was a mislabelled ''Il Piccolo do Haydn''.
