The sign made the claim that âdeadly nightshadeâ is actually a choice edible. Unfortunately, thereâs considerable confusion over the popular name âdeadly nightshade.â The plant most commonly referred to as âdeadly nightshade,â is Atropa belladonna, which is a highly unpleasant and toxic hallucinogen. âBlack nightshade,â Solanum nigrum, on the other hand, is edible.
Enrico Caruso. Enrico Caruso (Italian pronunciation: [enËriËko kaËruËzo]; 25 February 1873 â 2 August 1921) was an Italian operatic tenor. He sang to great acclaim at the major opera houses of Europe and the Americas, appearing in a wide variety of roles from the Italian and French repertoires that ranged from the lyric to the dramatic.
From Naples, Caruso was the first opera singer to be recorded. Caruso also made approximately 290 commercially released recordings from 1902 to 1920. All of these recordings, which span most of his stage career, are available today on CDs and as digital downloads.
