Giacosa - Giuseppe Giacosa

Italian playwright. Born into a noble bourgeois family near Turin. Since his debut work, The Chess Game (1873), he continued to write late romantic works, but under the influence of verismo, he gradually switched to a more realistic style, depicting the emptiness and melancholy of the bourgeois society of the time in works such as Love Sad (1887) and Like Leaves (1900). He also wrote the librettos for Puccini's operas, such as La Bohème (1896), Tosca (1900), and Madame Butterfly (1904).

イタリアの劇作家。トリノ近郊のブルジョアの名家出身。デビュー作『チェスの試合』(1873)以来、後期ロマン主義的作品を書き続けるが、ベリズモの影響を受けてしだいに写実的手法へ転換し、『悲しみの愛』(1887)や『木の葉のように』(1900)などに、当時のブルジョア社会の虚無と憂愁を描いた。なお、『ラ・ボエーム』(1896)、『トスカ』(1900)、『蝶々(ちょうちょう)夫人』(1904)など、プッチーニのオペラの台本も手がけた。
