- Giacomo Puccini — Italian opera composer (1858-1924) whose works — including La Bohème, Tosca, Madama Butterfly, and the unfinished Turandot — are among the most performed operas in the world; his gift for vocal melody and emotional drama made him the dominant figure in Italian opera after Verdi.
- Giacomo Leopardi — Italian poet and philosopher (1798-1837), widely considered the greatest Italian lyric poet after Dante; his collection Canti and philosophical dialogues Operette morali explored themes of beauty, suffering, and the indifference of nature with extraordinary depth; a central figure of European Romanticism.
- Giacomo Casanova — Venetian adventurer, writer, and memoirist (1725-1798) whose name became synonymous with romantic conquest; his memoir Histoire de ma vie (Story of My Life) is one of the most vivid first-person accounts of 18th-century European society, detailing his travels, intellectual encounters, and affairs across the courts of Europe.
- Giacomo Balla — Italian painter (1871-1958) and a founding figure of Futurism; his iconic work Dynamism of a Dog on a Leash (1912) is among the most recognisable images of 20th-century art; he sought to capture speed, light, and motion in paint.
- Giacomo Matteotti — Italian socialist politician (1885-1924) who was kidnapped and murdered by Mussolini's Fascist thugs after delivering a courageous speech in parliament denouncing electoral fraud; his murder became one of the defining moments in the consolidation of Italian Fascism and made him a martyr of Italian democracy.
