Italian nobleman, lawyer and amateur opera librettist

Count Nicolò Beregan (also Berengani and Bergani; 1627-1713) was an Italian nobleman, lawyer and amateur opera librettist. His Giustino was first set to music in 1683 by composer Giovanni Legrenzi for Il Giustino, and later reused by both Vivaldi (Giustino, 1724) and Handel (Giustino, 1737).
