Recent scholarship regarding a myth about one of this man's works has decided that it was actually the chorus "Immenso Jehova" that audiences demanded an encore of, despite the Austrian ban on them. In an opera composed by this man, a main character describes the "love that's the pulse of the universe" in "Un di, felice eterea", a duet with a character who later joins him for the drinking song (*) "Libiamo ne' lieti calici". His name was adopted as an acronymic slogan during the Risorgimento, during which the aria "Va', pensiero" from his Nabucco gained popularity. For another opera he wrote the aria "Vedi! Le fosche", in which Gypsies encourage each other to lift their hammers. For 10 points, name this Italian composer of La Traviata, whose Il Trovatore contains the "Anvil Chorus".
