A manuscript from the late 18th century came into the hands of a reader who decided to publish it. It is the memoirs of one of the last castrati of the Neapolitan School of Singing. Born into a poor peasant family on the outskirts of Naples, Porporino - to use the pseudonym he chose in accordance with the custom then prevailing among castrati - tells the story of his life.
