Giovanni Battista Lampugnani (c. 1708 – 2 June 1786) was an Italian composer, born in
King's Theatre, but he soon returned to Milan. Lampugnani later became the maestro al cembalo (meaning "master of the harpsichord") in 1779 at the Teatro alla Scala
.
Lampugnani wrote thirty operas during his lifetime, such as Semiramide (1741), Rossane, Tigrane (1747), Artaserse, Siroe (1755) and L'amor contadino (1760). He also composed some non-operatic pieces, e.g., trio sonatas and church music.[1]
He died in Milan.
