Title page of original libretto for Stiffelio printed for Trieste, before local censors compelled Verdi and Piave to change the final scene. This version was performed in Italy during the 19th century only at Venice in the season of 1852. For a comparison of the final scene in the original libretto and the version prepared for the censors, see M. Chusid,A Catalogue of Verdi's Operas, p. 153.
