Marco Enrico Bossi also had a son, Renzo Rinaldo, who became a composer. He is mostly remembered for the composition of an Opera on the libretto of Giovanni Pascoli (Nell'anno mille).

The italian national radio (first EIAR then RAI) executed or aired from theatres many Operas now forgotten which were never released commercially.

Here an example:

I enjoy Perosi's oratorios, I have no trouble at all with his "sickly sentimentality".

There are many italian composers, most of whom wrote operas, that were living in the twentieth century and are now forgotten.
Contrary to the common belief the production of new operas in Italy was still strong in the first half of the last century until around '60s - '70s.
It was especially notable the contribution of italian state radio broadcaster (first known as EIAR and later renamed RAI) which performed and requested many "contemporary" operas, in a way replacing the role that Ricordi and Sonzogno had in giving visibility to new operists in the 19th century and early 20th century.

This is a good, albeit incomplete, list of the breath of operatic works EIAR/RAI aired:

As suggested by BerlinExpat, the Parisina directed by Urbini is overall the best recording available yet.
Also respect for citing Porrino, a composer I like.

Depend on what you mean with "general" but in operas like L'amico Fritz, Iris and Parisina there are marked differences in the musical style.

I agree.
Mine was just an observation.

Jade is pretty good but it feels like it had already 50 years on the shoulders when it was composed.

I agree with BerlinExpat, Mascagni is much more than Cavalleria Rusticana.
Iris, L'amico Fritz, Isabeau, Parisina, Il piccolo Marat, Guglielmo Ratcliff and to a lesser extent Le maschere, Lodoletta and Zanetto are all worthy to listen.

If "verismo" is meant more as a time period/composers wave then I would recommend Cassandra by Vittorio Gnecchi, Mirra by Domenico Alaleona, I quatro rusteghi by Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari (which is very different from the spirit of the period, I gioielli della madonna is Wolf-Ferrari take on verismo),  L'amore dei tre Re and L'incantesimo by Italo Montemezzi.
Of course there are also example of verism operas which were first performed after 1920 like Salvatore Allegra's Ave Maria or Giancarlo Colombini's Jade (both not commercially available, I think).

Another unsung composer is Giacomo Orefice which most famous work is Chopin, Opera based on Chopin life (loosely) and music.
Not a masterpiece but I like to listen to it sometime.

Gioelli is a one-off in W-F's output - a work he could never top, I suspect.

I have yet to listen to I Gioielli but I Quatro Rusteghi is a masterpiece for me.
I especially appreciated the venetian vernacular since I'm from the region.
So exquisite.

Gioielli was a "one-off work" simply because Wolf-Ferrari was always more voted for comic opera.

Some modification: JANA is from 1905 and is set in Sardinia (Virgilio was from Barletta and trained in Naples).  Evidently posters of the opera are better known than the opera itself (like ISABEAU).

Yeah, I'm too interested in Jana but I've yet to find/buy that volume of Souvenirs from Verismo.

Poor guy, he died in poverty far from home.
