Pietro Mascagni projects, which never saw the light of day: The sound track of the 1980 film "Raging Bull" uses the "Intermezzo" from "Cavalleria rusticana", the Barcarolle from "Silvano", and the Intermezzo from "Guglielmo Ratcliff" (known as "Il sogno di Ratcliff"). The 1990 film "The Godfather Part III" used a production of "Cavalleria rusticana" at the Teatro Massimo in Palermo as the setting for its climax, with Michael Corleone's son Anthony as Turiddu. The movie ends with the Intermezzo playing. In 2001 Andrea Bocelli recorded a song entitled "Mascagni" on his Cieli di Toscana album that had an excerpt from "Cavalleria rusticana"
Cavalleria rusticana ("We rejoice that our Saviour is living!") joined by Santuzza. The villagers enter the church, while Santuzza and Lucia remain outside. Lucia asks Santuzza why she signalled her to remain silent when Alfio said that he had seen Turiddu that morning. Santuzza exclaims, "Voi lo sapete" ("You well know") and tells Lucia the story of her seduction by Turiddu and his affair with Lola. Lucia pities Santuzza, who feels dishonored, having been seduced by Turiddu only to be abandoned by him for his old flame, Lola. Santuzza feels she cannot enter the church, but begs Lucia to go inside herself
