The petitioners who besieged him for schools, hospitals, street paving-and Salk vaccine-got patient, unsmiling audiences but few promises.

Then, without a spoken word, Maestro was placed beside his son and his wife Carla: Section 7, Tomb 184. "Milan and the world of music," reported // Giorno, "knelt at his grave...
