It is indeed funny (and expected), although partly disheartening, that an account like this—which has been created to gather all things Farinelli and share less talked about or non translated resources such as photos of Alessandro Moreschi and of Villa Farinello, with some history of it—is only able to obtain traction via drama (???).
This is a good time to state that Farinelli never has been one to feed into gossip: every time someone has had to portray him in some fictional product (Voce Regina, Porporino) his life and/or manners have been turned upside down to justify, well, drama. His letters do show that he was bothered by it and he sometimes answered to it as well: most notably, by calling Senesino and Cuzzoni marmotte, by priding himself in not drinking/gambling/wasting money or by generally using Neapolitan swear words only to immediately censor himself.
Don't get too hurt about it :)
