One of the influences on Sardou's choice of name for the hero role in "La Tosca", "Cavaradossi", was the extremely similar name "Caravadossi", a noble Italian family from Nice, the birthplace of Garibaldi, and at several points in its history under Italian control.
One of the Caravadossi descendants fought in the 19th century Italian Wars of Independence.
