Enrico Golisciani
Enrico Golisciani (25 December 1848 – 6 February 1919) was an Italian author, born in Naples. He is best known for his opera librettos, but also published a slim volume of verses for music, entitled Pagine d'Album (Milano, Ricordi, 1885); many more of his poems intended to be set to music were published in the Gazzetta Musicale di Milano.
