The bloody massacre perpetrated by the Sicilians against French occupying troops on Easter Monday 1282 is known as the «Sicilian Vespers». However, the historical background was not the focus of Verdi’s interest; his compositional mastery was inspired rather by the impossible love between the Sicilian Duchess Elena and the resistance fighter Arrigo.
