Apostolo Zeno Apostolo Zeno (1668 in Venice – 11 November 1750 in Venice) was a Venetian poet, librettist, journalist, and man of letters.<ref name="Wikipedia"/>  


In 1691, he co-founded the {{lang|it|Accademia degli Animosi}}, a literary society in Venice. In 1695, he wrote his first libretto, {{lang|it|Gli inganni felici}}. It was a huge success and made way for many more to follow. From 1705 on, he professionally partnered with Pietro Pariati: Pariati composed the libretti while Zeno concentrated on the threatrical scenes. In total, Zeno wrote more than 66 dramas and oratorios, 15 in collaboration with Pariati.

The Zeno family was an ancient noble familiy of Venice. Expelled from Venice to Candia (Crete) in the 13th century in order to maintain order and suppress any rebellious subjects, they were only able to return after the assault on the isle by the Ottoman empire.
 
Zeno's libretti often centered on on historical and mythological themes.
 
The {{lang|it|Treccani}} dictionary describes him as "A decent man of letters but not a true poet." Considering that Zeno was "Cesarian poet" in his time, it is fair to say that judgements may differ. However, it is clear that Zeno, at least when it comes to operatic libretti, is overshadowed today by Pietro Metastasio.
