Il macigno ("The Rock") is an opera in two acts by the Italian composer Victor de Sabata with a libretto by Alberto Colantuoni. The opera premiered on March 31, 1917 at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan. For a performance in Turin in 1935, the opera was renamed Driada and divided into three acts. The score was destroyed in the bombing of Milan in 1943 during World War II. Only a piano reduction and the libretto have survived.
