Antonio Simeone Sografi, also known as Antonio Simon, or just Antonio (July 29, 1759 - January 4, 1818), was an Italian librettist and playwright.
After studying and graduating in his home town of Padua, he went to Venice, where he devoted himself to writing comedies and farces, as well as both humorous and serious text for major opera composers of the time. He was an active libretto from 1789 to 1816. It also produced texts for cantatas, oratorios, dramas and sacred compositions. Unlike most of his contemporaries, Sografi called his funny booklets "comedies", rather playful dramas; this because he followed the style of the character comedies of Goldoni and refused the too obvious comedy of art comedies.
He was the brother of the surgeon Pietro Sografi.[1] He died in Padua.
