Giuseppe Adami (November 4, 1878 in Verona – October 12, 1946 in Milan) was an Italian librettist, known for his collaboration works with Puccini for La rondine (1917), Il tabarro (1918) and Turandot (1926).
Adami also wrote several plays such as I fioi di Goldoni, Una capanna e il tuo cuore (1913), Capelli bianchi (1915), Felicita Colombo (1935) and Nonna Felicita (1936). The latter was adapted into [[a film in 1938 by director Mario Mattoli.
He graduated at the University of Padua in Law but dedicated his career as a writer, theatre playwright, and then music critic. After the death of Puccini, Adami published a collection of Puccini’s letters in Epistolario (1928). He also published his personal recollections, Giacomo Puccini (1935), which was one of the earliest biographies of the composer. He wrote a second biography Il romanzo della vita di Giacomo Puccini ("The life of Giacomo Puccini") in 1942.[1]
Adami also wrote librettos for other composers including Zandonai’s La via della finestra (1919); Franco Vittadini’s Anima allegra (1921) and Nazareth (1925). He was a music critic for La sera (Milan) and for the review La comedia from 1931 to 1934. Adami acted as publicist with the house of Ricordi to the end of his life.
