Aurelio Aureli (before 1652 – after 1708) was an Italian librettist.
Aurelio Aureli (before 1652 – after 1708) was an Italian librettist.


Little is known about Aureli's life. He debuted in the operatic field in 1652 with L'Erginda. Until 1687 he worked as a librettist mainly in Venice, with the exception of a brief trip to Vienna. In the lagoon city he was a member of the Accademia degli Imperfetti and perhaps also of the Accademia degli Incogniti. From 1688 to 1694 he was, however, in the service of the Duke of Parma, during which period he wrote about a dozen dramatic works, which were then almost all music by the then composer of the court Bernardo Sabadini. The last librettos were written in Venice and in other cities of the Republic.
