Gabriele d'Annunzio was born in Pescara #OTD in 1863.

I'm researching his collaboration with Debussy on Le Matyre de Saint Sébastien at the moment, so here's Ernest Ansermet's recording with the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande. There are a couple of cuts and no spoken dialogue. The great Suzanne Danco is among the soloists.
