Series IV: Personal memorabilia, 1940-2016

relationships both with the broader operatic community, but also with Italian and Italian-American culture.

Series IV comprises a range of personal memorabilia including correspondence with friends and family, a copy of Gabriele's autobiography, material (documents and recordings) relating to performances by Gabriele's students and colleagues, photographs from Gabriele's travels, and materials relating to Gabriele's early, non-musical education (materials relating to Gabriele's vocal education, including recordings of singing lessons, are included in Series I). Gabriele kept many personal documents relating to her marriage to Vito Pisa; however, because these documents intersect so closely with her career at Chez Vito, these have been filed under Series III. This series closely documents Gabriele's social relationships both with the broader operatic community, but also with Italian and Italian-American culture.
