	OperaMap: Piave, Francesco Maria
		Verdi was initially unsure of Piave's abilities and always harried him unmercifully, often having his work revised by others; Piave rewarded him with doglike devotion, and the two remained on terms of sincere friendship.
		Piave had a wide vocabulary and a facile pen, and an uncanny ability for turning Verdi's drafts into verse with an economy of words that satisfied Verdi's insistence on brevity and provided him with the striking, illuminating expressions he sought.
		It was Piave's willingness to meet Verdi's detailed requirements which provided the basis of their work together, and it is on this partnership that his reputation as a librettist must rest.

	First World War.com - Battles - The Battle of the Piave River, 1918
		The Battle of the Piave River comprised the last major Austro-Hungarian attack on the Italian Front and virtually heralded the disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian army on the way to the dismantling of the empire.
		The main assault, fought between 15-22 June 1918, was prompted by German demands upon their ally to launch an offensive across the Piave river - which was situated a bare few kilometres from key Italian cities such as Venice, Padua and Verona - now that the Russians had withdrawn from the war.
		However, re-crossing the rapids of the Piave proved problematic and enabled the Italians to attack Boroevic in the flank.

	First World War.com - Primary Documents - G.M. Trevelyan on the Battle of the Piave River, 15-22 June 1918
		Launched by Austria-Hungary in the face of sustained German demands to launch an offensive across the Piave River (nearby to several key Italian cities), the battle was fought from 15-22 June 1918.
		Between Piave and Brenta, on the Grappa massif, the Austrians had begun by storming positions which commanded Bassano and threatened the whole line.
		And since they had lost the mastery of the air, thanks not a little to the British airmen in the spring, they could not get sufficient information as to how to direct their fire in accordance with the changing phases of the battle on the Italian side of the river.

		Conrad, the former Chief of Staff who was now based in the Trentino, was allotted the main task of reaching Verona, while to the left Boroevic von Bojna on the Piave was to cross the river and aim for Padua and the Adige.
		A lack of reinforcements and restrictions on the movement of supplies (all but four of the bridges thrown across Piave by the Austrians had been destroyed by air raids and heavy rain) had severely weakened Boroevic's position, and by 21 June his flank had been turned.
		General Diaz, the over cautious Italian commander, did not pursue the enemy across the Piave and the unsuccessful Austrian offensive was brought to a close.

	PlaybillArts: Features: Piave and the Duke: Keys to Verdi's Rigoletto
		The Duke is surely a "singing anti-hero," but Piave is an "unsung hero." The librettist of eleven Verdi operas and the composer's most frequent collaborator, he remains the object of much scholarly debate and derision.
		With a stretch of the imagination, one might infer that the relationship between Verdi and Piave bears some similarity to that of the Duke and Rigoletto.
		Piave's text for the Duke's second act aria, "Parmi veder le lagrime" ("To see amidst the tears"), is an excellent substitute for the offending scenes.
