[2] The libretto for A Santa Lucia was written by Enrico Golisciani, based on the book Scene popolari napoletane (1889) by Goffredo Cognetti (Napoli 1855-Castiglioncello, Livorno 1943).
"[2] Tasca's next opera to be performed onstage was La lupa, with a libretto by Giovanni Verga.
La lupa was published in the second decade of the 20th century,[6] but had its premiere in Noto in 1932.
[2] Two additional operatic works composed by Tasca, La madre and Scongiuro, were never performed.
Tasca also wrote a Messa da Requiem, a death elegy to Edmondo De Amicis, as well as symphonic and chamber music.
