Line 1:

This is a '''list of sister states, regions, and cities in the [[U.S. state]] of [[Florida]]'''. [[Town twinning|Sister cities]], known in Europe as town twins, are cities which partner with each other to promote human contact and cultural links, although this partnering is not limited to cities and often includes counties, regions, states and other sub-national entities.

[[Eugenio Fernandi]] was an Italian [[tenor]] born in [[Pisa]] in 1922 and raised in the countryside outside of [[Turin]]. He studied at [[La Scala]] in Milan and made his operatic debut in [[Lisbon]] during 1954 singing the role of the Duke in ''[[Rigoletto]]''. He joined the [[Metropolitan Opera]] as a leading tenor on [[February 19]], [[1958]], debuting there as Pinkerton in ''[[Madama Butterfly]]''. Of that performance, a [[March 3]], [[1958]] ''Time Magazine'' review noted that Fernandi “belted out thundering, on-target salvos of sound that rocked the house” further praising that “physically and vocally it is surely the handsomest ''Butterfly'' ever mounted on a U.S. stage.”

Many Florida jurisdictions partner with foreign cities through [[Sister Cities International]], an organization whose goal is to, "Promote peace through mutual respect, understanding, and cooperation."<ref>{{cite web | title =Mission and Goals | publisher =Sister Cities International | url =http://www.sister-cities.org/sci/aboutsci/mission | accessdate =2007-06-26}}</ref> Sister cities interact with each other across a broad range of activities, from health care and education to business and the arts.<ref>{{cite web | title =Frequently Asked Questions | publisher =Sister Cities International | url =http://www.sister-cities.org/sci/aboutsci/faqs | accessdate =2007-06-26}}</ref>

From 1958 to 1971, Fernandi sang eight seasons with the Met in thirteen roles. Besides ''Madama Butterfly'', his Metropolitan performances in ''[[Tosca]]'' and ''[[Lucia di Lammermoor]]'' were also great successes. In one performance of the latter, he received twenty-two curtain calls. His aria in ''Tosca'' was once followed by a five minute [[ovation]] in which the maestro and the entire orchestra joined in.

The list below was compiled from the official Sister Cities International website<ref>

His recording career was almost single-handedly undone by a 1957 recording of ''[[Turandot]]'' opposite [[Maria Callas]] and [[Elisabeth Schwarzkopf]] which Fernandi made much too early in his career. As a result, he recorded few full-length operas. His later recordings dispelled the criticisms of that very first one but by then it was too late. He was also hindered by his early personal management who, unbeknownst to him, did not accept many performance offers in a misguided attempt to make him into a more valuable commodity. It only served to make him seem temperamental. In actuality, he was very approachable, very personable, very kind, and very humble.

{{cite web|url=http://www.sister-cities.org/icrc/directory/usa/FL|title=Online Directory: Florida, USA|publisher=Sister Cities International, Inc.|accessdate=2007-07-12}}</ref>, corrected on orthography and region listed. The regions the cities are part of are the closest equivalent of an [[U.S. state]] administrative division, respecting the characteristics of each specific region.

==Sisters of Florida cities and counties==

Fernandi was well-known in his adopted [[New Jersey]] (he was a long-time resident of [[West Orange, New Jersey|West Orange]]). He sang many times with the [[New Jersey State Opera Company]] where his roles included the tenor leads in ''[[Aida]]'', ''[[La Fanciulla del West]]'', and ''[[La Traviaota]]''.

Fernandi died on [[August 8]], [[1991]], at the [[Mayo Clinic]] in [[Minnesota]] due to complications related to surgery. Many sources erroneously list the date as August 15th or 18th because that is when word of his death reached the East Coast and newspapers began to eulogize him.
