Change header in bibliography - bibtex

Question

In my latex document (report) I have an appendix made like this:
appendix                             
chapter{BLA BLA}

rhead[fancyplain{}{bfseries thechapter. :Statistiche UD Italian ISDT versione 2.6}]
{fancyplain{}{bfseries thepage}}

lhead[fancyplain{}{bfseriesthepage}]{fancyplain{}{bfseries}}

some text here

this formatting means that in the subsequent even pages, in the header of page, I have the page number on the left and the title of the appendix on the right. And this is correct. While in odd pages only the number appears on the right side of the title page and that's also correct.
Then I have the bibliography part made like this:
bibliography{bibliography} 
bibliographystyle{ieeetr}
addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Bibliografia}

the problem is that in this way, in the header of the even pages I always have the number on the left and the name of the appendix on the right, instead of simply the word "bibliography".
How can I change the right part of the header page only for the bibliography part?
Thanks!

Two suggestions:

Consult the documentation or a tutorial for the fancyhdr package. See e.g. the Overleaf tutorial. You use the commands of the package in a peculiar way that messes up the header.

Use the babel package with the option italian. This will set the title of the bibliography automatically (as well as other things for the Italian language).

Here is a sketch how to set up the header. If you cannot apply my suggestions to your setting, please post a complete document including the preamble. With the sparse information that you provide it is difficult to give adequate advice.
documentclass[twoside]{report}
usepackage[T1]{fontenc}% use T1 font encoding for better glyphs
usepackage[italian]{babel}% set up LaTeX for Italian
usepackage{fancyhdr}
pagestyle{fancy}
fancyhf{}% clear header and footer
fancyhead[LE,RO]{bfseriesthepage}% page number on the left for even pages and on the right for odd pages.
fancyhead[RE]{bfseriesleftmark}% chapter title on the right side of even pages
usepackage{lipsum}% only used for the sample text 
begin{document}
appendix                             
chapter[Statistiche UD Italian ISDT]{Statistiche UD Italian ISDT versione 2.6}
% Note the use of the optional argument with a shortened title
% since the chapter title is too long to fit into a single header line

lipsum[1-8]% generates sample text

nocite{*}% includes all citations from bibliography.bib
bibliographystyle{ieeetr}
bibliography{bibliography} 
end{document}
