Giuseppe Besozzi (born 1686 in Milan – died 2 December 1760 in Naples) was an Italian oboist.
In the eighteenth century the Besozzi family produced several important oboists who worked in Turin, Naples, London, Paris and Dresden.
[2] The eldest son of Cristoforo Besozzi came to Parma in 1701, where he was trained as an oboist.
He became a member of the Ducal hautboy band Guardia Irlandese, created in 1702 by Antonio Farnese, Duke of Parma,[1] on 1 June 1711.
[2] In 1734 he was assigned to the court of the King of Naples,[2] where he worked until 1738 at the age of 52,[2] probably leaving due to problems with his eyes.
