Il Giustino is an opera in three acts by composer Giovanni Legrenzi. The work uses an Italian-language libretto by Nicolò Beregan based on the life of Emperor Justin I. The opera premiered on 12 February 1683 at the Teatro San Salvador in Venice;[1][2] Selfridge-Field gives 7 February as the date.[3] Legrenzi dedicated the work to Alexander Farnese, Duke of Parma.[3]
