Bernardino Molinari

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bernardino Molinari (born 1880, died 1952) was an Italian conductor. He conducted the Augusteo Orchestra in Rome. His conducting abilities were widely criticized, and he was the victim of a private attack by Toscanini in one of his letters:

Our poor Bernardino [Molinari], who boasts of having two big, hard b[alls], is really the victim of the disproportionate weight of his accessories, because the blood, exiting from his brain and infiltrating down below, leaves his intelligence very anemic [1].
