'''Antonio Tozzi''' (c. 1736 - after 1812) was an [Italian opera](/source/Italian_opera) [composer](/source/composer).

He was born at [Bologna](/source/Bologna), [Italy](/source/Italy).  He studied with  [Padre Martini](/source/Padre_Martini) and became a member of the [Accademia Filarmonica di Bologna](/source/Accademia_Filarmonica_di_Bologna) in 1761. His first opera ''Tigrane'', was performed in [Venice](/source/Venice) in 1762. His ''La morte di Dimone'' of 1763 was an early [opera semiseria](/source/opera_semiseria). In 1764 he was asked to work for the court in [Brunswick](/source/Braunschweig). In 1774 he became Hofkapellmeister in [Munich](/source/Munich) and his ''Orfeo ed Euridice'' was performed there in 1775. Shortly afterwards however a scandal involving the Countess von Törring-Seefeld caused him to flee the city and he returned to Venice. The following year he was in Spain, working in [Madrid](/source/Madrid) and later [Barcelona](/source/Barcelona) where he did a substantial part of his work, finally leaving Spain for Italy in 1805.  He died at Bologna.
