Girolamo Giusti

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Girolamo Alvise Giusti (1709–1766) was an Italian libretto writer.

Luigi (or Alvise, as his name appears in several manuscripts from the time) Giusti was born in Venice some time in 1709. After regular studies in Padua, he worked as a writer at the Habsburg court in Milan, where he died in 1766.

He is best known for his libretto Motezuma, based upon the story of the conquest of Mexico by Hernán Cortés, and set to music in 1733 by Antonio Vivaldi.
