He wrote “Messaggio d'amore” and “M'ama non m'ama” in the 1880s.
He visited Canada and the US between 1902 and 1903 after performing in Moscow in 1900.
“Cavalleria rusticana”, his most well-known opera, celebrated its 50th anniversary in 1940, and he frequently conducted the events that took place around Italy.
