[Verdi] had a huge estate of 2500 acres surrounding an elegant villa in the town of Sant’Agata, which was in the province of Piacenza not far from his birthplace. For Verdi, dogs were a pleasant part of everyday farm life. They guarded the property when he was away; when he was at home they kept unwanted visitors from bothering him and accompanied him when he hunted. Blach shared his home with many other species—peacocks, cats, parrots, pheasants, and chickens, among them.
