About the author
Born in Modena in 1767 and later dying in Milan on June 17, 1853, he is identified in reliable catalog and scholarly sources as an Italian writer, translator, and librettist.
Gaetano Barbieri is especially visible today through bibliographic and music-history records rather than through a single famous modern edition. Sources such as the Carl-Maria-von-Weber complete edition, the Bibliothèque nationale de France, IMSLP, and Italian Wikisource all preserve consistent core details about his life and work.
That combination of roles suggests a versatile literary career: someone comfortable moving between books, language, and the stage. For audiobook listeners, he belongs to the rich world of Italian authors whose work sits close to both literature and performance.
