Initially, his contact with Verdi came about when the composer was seeking to continue work on his proposed ''Re Lear'', an adaptation of the Shakespeare play, ''King Lear'', for the opera stage which had begun under his long-time collaborator Salvadore Cammarano who had died. Under Verdi's supervision, Somma wrote the libretto for ''Re Lear'', a project that Verdi never realised musically although extensive work was done and a full libretto completed to the point where Verdi was considering this to be the opera he wrote for Naples for the 1858 season.
However, ''Ballo'' had a troubled history and, originally, Somma wrote the libretto under the title of ''Gustavo III''. As a result of required changes by, firstly, the Bourbon censors and, then, the Papal ones, it became transformed into ''Un vendetta in domino'' (with a different setting and characters' names).
Finally, for its Rome premiere, the opera became ''Un ballo in maschera'', but with another location change (this time to Boston in colonial times) and further title and name changes. Overall, Somma then specialized in stage plays and wrote no further libretti. Provided by Wikipedia
