That AP article reads like it was translated from Italian or written by someone whose first language is Italian.

Menotti said he was on the verge of giving up his direction of the cultural festivals several times -- in 1990, he said he wanted to quit the South Carolina event because he was being "treated like the clerk."
He eventually did leave the U.S. festival, in October 1993, after a series of better disagreements with the festival's board about financial and artistic control.
But despite his frequent urges to leave, Menotti seemed always as engaged as ever -- even more. "I feel like the sorcerer's apprentice -- I've started something and I don't know how to stop it," Menotti said in 1981 in Spoleto.
