Giovanni Battista Volpe
Giovanni Battista Volpe (–1691) was an Venetian composer for operas during the Baroque period. He was also known as Rovetta and Rovettino.

Volpe was an organist at St Mark's Basilica, and succeeded Giovanni Legrenzi as "maestro di capella" of the Cappella Marciana from 1690 until 1691. His uncle was Giovanni Rovetta, a composer and former "maestro di capella".

He collaborated with the librettist Aurelio Aureli on several projects. Volpe composed the music for the opera "La costanza di Rosmonda", which premiered in Venice's Teatro Santi Giovanni e Paolo in 1659. He then composed the music for the opera "Gl'amori d'Apollo e di Leucotoe", which premiered in the same theatre in 1663. He composed at least one more opera for the theatre.

Volpe was the preferred choice of composers "in absentia" when changes had to be made to their work.
