Ave Maria - dedicated to Pope Pius X Dedicata al Sommo Pontefice Pio x

Al diletto figlio, l'egregio professore Ruggero Leoncavallo, plaudendo di cuore al santo pensiero accettiamo con la massima soddisfazione la dedica del suo lavoro, e col voto che per la preghiera dei beneficiati il cielo largamente compensi l'opera di carita', le impartiamo con paterno affetto, l'apostolica benedizione.
