That event led the Neapolitan censors to demand still further changes. Matters were nearly settled when in January 1858, just before rehearsals were to begin, an Italian attempted in Paris to assassinate Emperor Napoleon III of France, killing bystanders in the bombing. Verdi moved the action from Stockholm to Stettin (now Szczecin, Poland) in the 17th century and changed the protagonist’s rank from king to duke. What began as Gustavo III di Svezia in 1857 became Una vendetta in domino after revisions later in the year. It was immediately clear to the theatre and to the librettist that there would be problems with Neapolitan censors at the least, a monarch’s assassination onstage would be forbidden. Under contract to the Teatro San Carlo in Naples in 1857, Verdi had settled on the story of the assassination of King Gustav III of Sweden in 1792 as the basis for a proposed opera.
