Il maestro Domenico Mustafà  con Giuseppe Verdi a Montecatini
 

Our House 

      Villa Mustafà is nestled is the countryside just outside of the renaissance town of Montefalco. Its name derives from the first owner the Maestro Domenico Mustafà. The Maestro was a cantor, soprano at the Sistine Chapel Choir and a brilliant composer. When he left Rome, "he retired to his mansion a few kilometers from Montefalco where often his old friends went to visit him."

"Those who met this singular person in the last years of his life, lived in the country, realized, through the precious conversations with the Maestro, his deep knowledge of the classics, of voice manipulation and the extravagances due probably to his exceptional physical being ". A story in its own is the reason why he developed the exceptional soprano timbre. The story horrors we but we prefer it to the barbaric customs that in other eras were not punished in order to have these sublime singers. His conversation was most pleasant rich in anecdotes, for his competence in his arguments and for his personality.
(Excerpt from Archimede Cimatti).

 

In the Montefalco cemetery, there is a beautiful monument in white marble positioned by the Maestro himself before his death. It shows him directing a large choir. Domenico Mustafà passed away in Montefalco in 1912 at the age of 83 leaving wonderful memories with those who met him. He left us, Roberto and Paola, who had the chance of knowing about him through books and stories told the honor of living in his country home named after him.
