Giacomo Francesco Bussani was a Venetian librettist.

He wrote seven known librettos; 5 for Antonio Sartorio, and one each for Carlo Pallavicino and Pietro Agostini.[1] Among those he set for Sartorio was Giulio Cesare in Egitto, which was later adapted by Nicola Francesco Haym for Georg Friedrich Händel's Giulio Cesare.

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ Giulio Cesare in Egitto - xi Antonio Sartorio, Craig A. Monson - 1991 - 322 "Giulio Cesare represents Sartorio's second collaboration with the rather obscure Venetian librettist, Giacomo Francesco Bussani. Although Bussani also provided a single libretto each for [Carlo ?] Pallavicino and Pietro Simone Agostini,"
