Antonio Salieri Veneziano

Speranza

"thus he identified himself on the librettos printed for the first productions of several of his operas."

Yet apparently Shaffer (in "Amadeus") has him as being from Lombardy. Shaffer's "Amadeus" opened at the National Theatre, London, on Nov. 2, 1979. I wonder if reviews written early back in the day pointed out what seems like a mistake in the play (if not film adaptation? I don't have the script to hand).
