Alessandro Pepoli

Alessandro Pepoli (1757–1796), was an Italian librettist and writer of tragedies.

Born in Venice, Pepoli sought to be considered a literary rival to Italian dramatist and poet Vittorio Alfieri, often writing his own takes on topics previously addressed by Alfieri.

[1] Styling himself as a champion of liberty,[1] in 1783, he wrote an essay on freedom, advocating political reform.
