Among over 7,000 libretti in the Bologna Museo della Musica Library, one stands out: the libretto for the opera "The Martyrdom of Saint Eustace" by Flavio Carlo Lanciani, with a libretto by Pietro Ottoboni, composed in 1690. What makes it so special? The Roman printer Giacomo Komarek printed the entire libretto... on silk!
