Somma Vesuviana
Somma Vesuviana is a town and ''comune'' in the Metropolitan City of Naples, Campania, southern Italy. History Before the Roman colonisation, the area of today's Somma Vesuviana was probably inhabited by Italic peoples like Samnites and Oscans. Later it became a resort for rich patricians of Rome or for rich estate owners who built magnificent villas in the area. Excavations have shown that this north side of the Vesuvius volcano was equally as populated as the southern side where Pompeii and Herculaneum lie, but has not been paid as much attention by historians. The area was buried during the eruption of Vesuvius of 472 AD and not 79 AD (like that which buried Pompeii etc.), and so was part of the community that continued after the earlier eruption and recovered better than the territories to the south. Excavations A large Roman villa was discovered in the 1930s in the ''frazione'' of Starza della Regina, and interpreted as that of emperor Augustus at Nola where he probably ...

Antonio Somma
Antonio Somma (28 August 1809, Udine – 8 August 1864, Venice) was an Italian playwright who is most well known for writing the libretto of an opera which ultimately became Giuseppe Verdi's ''Un ballo in maschera'' in 1859. While a student, his tragedy, ''Parisina'', gave him quite a success. Initially, his contact with Verdi came about when the composer was seeking to continue work on his proposed ''Re Lear'', an adaptation of the Shakespeare play, ''King Lear'', for the opera stage which had begun under his long-time collaborator Salvadore Cammarano who had died. Under Verdi's supervision, Somma wrote the libretto for ''Re Lear'', a project that Verdi never realised musically although extensive work was done and a full libretto completed to the point where Verdi was considering this to be the opera he wrote for Naples for the 1858 season.Budden 1984, pp. 362–363 However, ''Ballo'' had a troubled history and, originally, Somma wrote the libretto under the title of '' Gustavo ...
