| Evidence: | 'I have read the rifacciamento with great pleasure - generally it is painful to see an old favourite changed - but you have done the most difficult thing in the world with so true a grace that you more than reconcile me to the alterations. The Story of Rimini is certainly more true, more complete more beautiful as it now stands.'
