Bertini, Giuseppe, Italian musicographer, son of Salvatore Bertini; b. Palermo, Jan. 20, 1759; d. there, March 15, 1852. He studied at the Scuole Pie degli Scolopi, and later entered the priesthood without abandoning his work in musical lexicography. He compiled the Dizionario storico-critico degli scrittori di musica (Palermo, 1814–15), which is still of some value for its entries on obscure Italian musicians.
