Apostolo Zeno Apostolo Zeno (1668 in Venice – 11 November 1750 in Venice) was a Venetian poet, librettist, journalist, and man of letters.[2]

In 1691, he co-founded the Accademia degli Animosi, a literary society in Venice. In 1695, he wrote his first libretto, 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 theatrical scenes. Zeno wrote more than 66 dramas and oratorios, 15 in collaboration with Pariati.[3] His libretti often center on historical and mythological themes.Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag [2] [4] [3]
