Invettive musicali has been released by Adelphi, the Italian edition of the celebrated Lexicon of Musical Invective by Nicolas Slonimsky.
With sharpness and wit, Carlo Boccadoro curates this irresistible collection of fierce critiques and hasty judgments—often unfair—aimed at great composers of the past.

A book that makes you smile, surprise, and reflect.
Because every invective is not just a mistake in perspective, but a reflection of an era, a taste, a fear.
Music, before it can be understood, needs to be truly heard.
And time, sometimes, is the wisest critic.
