“In the recent festival given in this city in commemoration of the Italian occupation of Rome, the music, provided by the skillful care of Signor Antonio Barili, was one of the most agreeable features of the evening. Among the artists who assisted were Ronconi, Errani, Albites, Boy, Mallard, Maccaferri and others. With such artistes, and with such a maestro as Barili, the music could not have been otherwise than of the first order.”
