Italian scholar, b. in the region of Bergamo, 1731; d. 3 June, 1794. At an early
age he entered the Society of Jesus. After serving as professor of rhetoric and
belles-lettres (eloquenza) at the Brera in Milan, he was called by Francesco
III, Duke of Modena, to take charge of his library (the Biblioteca Estense);
this he directed with patient endeavour and skill, enriching it with many
additions of book and manuscripts and providing it with catalogues. His chief
work is the monumental "Storia della letterature italiana", an exhaustive
compilation of the materials within his reach. Actuated by the patriotic desire
to defend his country's glory in the cultural arts against the attacks of
foreign critics, he makes his history extend from Etruscan times down to 1700,
and concerns himself with all matters of interest in belles-lettres, philosophy,
history, the fine arts, medicine, jurisprudence, etc., accompanying the
statement of his views with an abundance of precious documents. Written in a
clear and attractive style, the "Storia" appeared in its first edition between
1772 and 1782. With augmentations and connections, it was published a second
time at Modena, between 1787 and 1794. His minor writings include: "Biblioteca
Modenese", an account of writers born in Modena; "Memorie storiche modenesi";
"Vita di Fulvio Testi"; and many other historical and critical essays and
articles.
