Synopsis

La battaglia di Legnano

---

La battaglia di Legnano is the only opera by Verdi to have any direct bearing on the Risorgimento - the Italian liberation movement. Only superficially is the action concerned with the conflict between the Lombard League and Frederick Barbarossa, the Hohenstaufen emperor. Among the opera's highlights are its patriotic choruses, with which Verdi stirred up opinion in favour of a united Italy.
