I am doing a music project on him, and Otello and Nabucco are some of his most famous works, I believe.

Also see Rigoletto, La Traviata and Il Trovatore.
I'd say Puccini's operas would be at the top of the list:
La bohème
Tosca
Madama Butterfly
Turandot
You'd have to have include a fair whack of Verdi's operas, especially:
La traviata
Il trovatore (The troubadour)
Rigoletto
Aida
The bel canto composers would be on any list of most popular operas, including
Il barbiere di Siviglia (The Barber of Seville) by Rossini
Norma by Bellini
L'elisir d'amore by Donizetti
The verismo composers (Puccini is also categorized here):
I pagliacci (The clowns) by Leoncavallo
Cavalleria rusticana (Rustic Chivalry) by Mascagni
And, if you mean operas IN Italian, rather than written by an Italian, you'd have to include the big Mozart operas:
Le nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro)
Cosi fan tutte
Don Giovanni
To name a few- Otello La traviata Falstaff Aida Rigoletto The links below will give you further details.

Giuseppe Verdi.
Verdi's middle period operas epitomize the soul of not only Verdi, but of Italian Opera. These three operas "set the stage" for what Opera will become as well. They are: Rigoletto Il Trovatore La Traviata
Verdi composed not for the the Italian elite, but for a mass public who's main entertainment was opera.
Verdi's last two operas were Otello and Falstaff, based on Shakespeare's Othello and The Merry Wives of Windsor. Verdi completed Otello in 1887 at the age of 73, and Falstaff in 1893 at the age of 79.
Most of Giuseppe Verdi's operas were published by Casa Ricordi, a prominent music publishing company based in Milan, Italy. Casa Ricordi played a significant role in promoting Verdi's works and supporting his career as a composer.
