Identification of the photograph

[edit]

User: Reolgovi has indicated that the photograph that accompanies this article is misidentified -- i.e., that the person on the right, not the one on the left is Fontana. I could not confirm this one way or the other. In my own view, the person on the left clearly is not Puccini, while the person on the right appears similar to Puccini. So I think simply changing "right" for "left" in the caption is not correct. However, in order to know what the truth is, we are going to have to confirm via a reliable source, or remove the image. I was unable to find a reliable copy of the image now being used, either using a Google image search or in Google books. Reolgovi placed an edit into the body text which I have removed while we figure this out. This is not a reflection on Reolgovi --he may well be right, but the final edit will be done in the photo caption once we know what the correct answer is. Note that the Centro Studi Puccini uses this image, implying but not stating that Puccini is on the right. http://www.puccini.it/index.php?id=82 David.thompson.esq (talk) 21:31, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
