An article published in Musical America of May 25, 1929 called "Mascagni Leads His Thousands" mentions an orchestra of five thousand musicians.

Leaving aside the political implications, this is an interesting historical performance!

@omtara Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe Mussolini was the horror that Adolf Hitler was; everyone I know who lived in Italy during that time told me that it was he only time in Italy when trains ran on time, people felt safe and protected, and the arts were honored in the greatest way. Also, I know many Americans who don't feel so great about honoring warmongers in the White House either. The point is, music should transcend any political disagreements.
