Correction: It was the father who hoped that one of his sons will have inherited his wife's voice and initially noticed Marcelo's (MDM's brother) voice and eventually turned to Mario when his voice started developing...
Maestro Gavazzeni (I think it is him) says he worked in a new opera with Mario. Ariodante by Nino Rota (later famous for his Fellini soundtracks)! An opera in 19th century style. Maestro G was impressed not only by the "squilo" (ringing sound) beauty of voice and high notes of the promissing young tenor, but by his musicianship too. Maestro also notes MDM's "fanatic" consistancy in his preperation and his artistic conduct.
Upon finishing his studies in Pesaro there was doubt about his Fach. Agents couldnt believe that the only 60Kg person with this big voice can sustain his big sound to the end of a dramatic role! Although Mario says his voice changed with the time. His teacher was Melocchi and his debut was on 20.3.1940 with Cav Rust. in Marche. He was 25.
