The documentary is concerned with the residents of the home.  Movies
Unlimited's web site says:

   "A unique documentary look at Casa Verdi, a musician's retirement home
   in Italy founded over 80 years ago by the composer.  Interviews and
   concert scenes give a historical overview of Italian opera and its
   stars.  87 min.  In Italian with English subtitles."
