The good people of La Serenissima @laserenissimauk.bsky.social might be able to help here.

Thanks, Colin. I've followed them - any suggestions as to who these musicians might be @laserenissimauk.bsky.social? Referred to only as Juponi and Jacometto in the diaries I'm working on, but in conjunction with Ferdinanco Bertoni, so I'm assuming that they are known musicians c.1790.

For Jacometto there's a tenor called Giacomo David who sang in two premières of Bertoni's work according to wiki: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdinando_Bertoni

He seems to be a singer rather than a musician, though: the diaries suggest that both of the men referred to are musicians - no reference to singing at all.
