* Ironically, Puccini indirectly caused the death of an innocent child, and wrote the character of Liu in ''Turandot'' in her memory. He had many affairs, and his wife had become insanely jealous as a result, so that when he actually ''kept his hands off'' 16-year-old Doria Manfredi, newly hired as housekeeper, Elvira didn't believe it. She stalked the girl, denounced her as a whore, and mercilessly harassed her to "confess". Doria swallowed three tablets of mercury chloride. It took her three days to die. Eventually, the truth came out: Puccini ''was'' having an affair -- with Doria's older cousin! The relationship was serious and continued to the end of Puccini's life; he acknowledged and supported her baby as his.
