What is Castrato?

For most of the modern civilization, the castrated Eunuchs were appreciated in several cultures as palace service, who did not pose a risk as harem guardians. In places like ancient China, all genitals were removed; However, other types of eunuchs in Italy, called Castrati, only let their testicles cut off from the body to sing them like male sopranos. Castrato's popularity has evolved throughout Europe from about the 16th century to the beginning of the 20th century, into which the practice was widely discouraged.

Castrato, which modern people could hear, is Alessandro Moreschi, who died in 1922 after recorded some of the first and last castrati singing on Earth. In 2011, several selections of Moreschi's work are widely available as viral videos. At the time of his death, the government and the Catholic Church were considered to be the practice of castrating boys to sing as women for lifestyle for life-ranging the role of soprano in the church of all-mala choirs. Although Moreschi is attributed to being the only CAstrati heard by modern citizens, perhaps the most famous Castrati of all time is Carlo Broschi, named Farinelli at the height of Castrato popularity in the opera scene of the 18th century.

Although the Eunuchs could result from genetic defect or accidental castration, many others have been created by the ruling classes long ago as biblical times. The phenomenon developed in the 15th century at Castrato in Italy, after noticing that hypogonadism created by castration of boys suspended pubescent changes caused by male hormones in gonads. Instead of thickening the trachea and the deepening of the voice, the voice remained high, but with training developed a significantly penetrating tone.

If a child exposes strong singing skills, the church can ask for HJs that he has become Castrato for a lifetime and give up the lives of sex and procreation, like what is asked for a priest. According to the Urological Sciences Research Foundation (USRF) Catholic CitKev began to replace her best boys sopranos at the end of 1500 years. Italian opera houses followed many of the following generations of the European Renaissance period.

Although the methods would differ, the surgical process that was made by young Castrato to endure puberty, which usually began with anesthesia of opium, often with a child immersed in a warm, relaxation bath, which abandoned the testicles as much as possible. Then the show was open and both testicles were removed to VAS deferens. According to the magazine New Scientist scientists have exhumed Farinelli's body in 2006 and noticed two features characteristic of many castrates: long limbs and a hollow effect on the forehead. Known as Hyperostosis Frontalis Internal, this conditism strikes after menopausal women most in 2011.
