Fra Diavolo; Ou L'hôtellerie de Terracine (Fra Diavolo; Or, The Inn of Terracina) is an opéra comique in three acts by French composer Daniel Auber and compatriot librettist Eugène Scribe. It is loosely based on the life of the Itrani guerrilla leader Michele Pezza, who was active in southern Italy in the period 1800-1806. Pezza went under the name of Fra Diavolo (meaning 'Brother Devil').
