Domenico Monleone (January 4, 1875 – 15 January 1942) was an Italian composer of operas, most noted for his opera Cavalleria rusticana of 1907, which for a while rivalled the success of Mascagni's work of the same name which was from the same source. The work was the third opera to be based on Verga’s short story, Cavalleria rusticana, Mascagni‘s famous opera (1890) being the first, and Gastaldon’s Mala Pasqua (1891) being the second.

Mascagni and his lawyers intervened and Monleone change the opera ‘beyond recognition’ ^[1] setting the music to a new liberetto. In this form it was presented as La giostra dei falchi in 1914.

There have been recent revivals of Monleone's original Cavalleria rusticana in Tirana (Albania) and (more successfully) in Montpelier (France) in 2001. Also in Albania there has been (1998) a revival (radio concert) of Il mistero conducted by Danile Pacitti which has been released on CD.
