ON JULY 12TH THIS YEAR, the remains of the legendary castrato Farinelli (Carlo Broschi 1705-82) were disinterred in La Certosa, the main cemetery in Bologna, Italy. In moderate condition, Farinelli's remains were reported at first sight as confirming that the singer had been a tall, sturdy man. The bones of the great castrato are to be examined further to discover more about the physical shape of the castrati, their lifestyles and the changes brought about by a combination of the operation performed on them at an early age and their intensive voice training schedule.
