Tosca è un'opera lirica in tre atti di Giacomo Puccini, su libretto di Giuseppe Giacosa e Luigi Illica, una breve storia d'amore e di morte. Nella Roma del 1800 dopo il fallimento della Repubblica Romana, quando lo Stato Pontificio sta catturando i rappresentanti ed i sostenitori della Repubblica, le vite del pittore Mario Cavaradossi e della sua amante Tosca, incrociano Cesare Angelotti, patriota fuggito dalle carceri del Papa. Sulle tracce del fuggiasco c'è il capo della polizia pontificia, barone Scampia che, innamorato di Tosca, approfitta della situazione per conquistare la donna. L'opera drammatica finisce come deve finire una tragedia: muore il fuggiasco, muore il cattivo Scampia per mano di Tosca, muore il pittore ed infine muore Tosca suicida (Aonia edizioni).
