Why is it so hard to find Act I of La Finta Giardiniera in Italian? Like did someone hate Mozart so badly that they decided the only way to ruin his reputation was to destroy the Italian lyrics for just one act of one of his lesser known operas?

I'm a little shit, I've been writing "poop" all over the scores of the assistant director and the stage manager when they haven't been looking for 50 minutes.

This opera had a ridiculous upbringing. So allegedly, the librettist for Mozarts La Finta is Giuseppe Peteosellini. And allegedly, this same guy had written the SAME LIBRETTO for another La Finta opera by Pasquale Anfolli? Something like that? It was all part of this carnival thing, where operatic works would be contracted. So the Pasquale guy did his La Finta in 1774 in Rome, and Mozarts premiered in 1775 in Munich. It is actually blowing my mind that one man would just shelve the EXACT SAME libretto and hand it over to the 18 year old Mozart. Apparently Mozart wasn't thrilled with the libretto, but he did it anyway. And both were hits. So my question is why would Petrosellini give out his libretto to another composer? More money? To cause a scandal? Any opera buffs have any answers?? Help a poor dramaturg out?! 😭😭😭😂
