He was very popular, and was also appreciated by other Italian composers: for example he was a close friend of Giacomo Puccini, and Pietro Mascagni asked him to direct Cavalleria Rusticana's first performance in London .

Tosti was greatly appreciated in Russia, England and France. Great singers sang Tosti's songs in their recitals, but also many amateurs in all the salons of the nobility and Italian middle class. Many of his songs are included in the great repertoire of Neapolitan songs.

Tosti and the great italian poet Gabriele D' Annunzio were born in Abruzzo, in central Italy, and they met in Naples. They appreciated each other, even though they were very different.

In Songs on poems of Gabriele D'Annunzio, Tosti maintains his melodical characteristics, but finds new harmonic solutions and suggestions of European neo-classicism.
