Gioseffo Micheletti
fl. c. 1683 · Italian music editor
Gioseffo (Giuseppe) Micheletti was an Italian music editor active in Bologna between 1683 and 1692, according to the documented years. He had his printing workshop in the Pavaglione, one of the central areas of the city.
His publications include sacred music by Cazzati, Cavanni and Albergati, chamber cantatas by G. F. Tosi, and instrumental works by authors such as Giuseppe Torelli, G. B. Degli Antoni, Gaspardini and other local composers, with opus numbers dated between 1683 and 1691.
His catalogue is distinguished by the neatness and elegance of its editions. As his printer's mark he used an angel with a cornucopia full of flowers, a crown or a noble coat of arms.
