Putting It Together


He also wrote the librettos used by Puccini for La bohème, Tosca, and Madama Butterfly in conjunction with Luigi Illica. Illica supplied the plot and dialogue, and Giacosa polished the libretto into verses. — Wikipedia


Puccini had a choice and chose a

With Illica, the three of them

Wrote Tosca, Butterfly, Bohème.
