Leone Emanuele Bardare

Leone Emanuele Bardare (born Naples, 1820 – died there after 1874) was an Italian poet. He is remembered for completing the libretto to Giuseppe Verdi's Il trovatore after the death, in 1852, of original librettist Salvadore Cammarano.[1] Bardare also crafted a new libretto, titled Clara di Perth, for Rigoletto in an attempt to placate the Neapolitan censors.
