In addition that had already been announced, I translated that:
Grandfather "our" Degaya came with Napoleon's army in Russia from Italy and has remained so ever. Russian mom called him Sasha.

After Switzerland, in 1927, he moved to Rome where the left hand creates mostly cards for different types of troops and police. Also, he portrays the era of Napoleon Miniatures (here feels drawn to him vopominaniyam of his grandfather!)

Yes - a unique man was the artist Alex Degan!

Can read from Larionova in "Memoirs of Diaghilev. 1930."
Quote: "Just autographs Pushkin, 11 letters to his fiancée Natalia Goncharova, great-grandmother famous artist Natalia Goncharova. (I highlighted.)

Well, of course, the great-granddaughter! Extra "PRA" Goncharova I hope will forgive me!

This is all the characters from the Commedia dell'arte - (in Schumann's Carnaval is Kyarina, Eusebius and Florestan, though others not). Ethiopians and karabintera from the same opera - or Operetta
Then it is logical and mention the corps de ballet - there almost always been ballet interludes.

And yet what name this kardebaleta?

Here I found about the descriptions of Commedia dell'arte in the Internet
