An Italian historian and biographer; born at Roveredo, Oct. 29, 1758; died at Milan, June 9, 1827. After some attempts at poetry and poetic criticism, he wrote his finest work, "Life of Victorin de Feltre" (1801). Among his many other books may be named: "Life of Ovid" (1789); "Memoirs on the Life and Writings of Clement Baroni Cavalcabro" (1798); "The Exemplary Life and Death of Marie Josephine Repetti, a Young Milanese" (1815); and "History of Milan" (1820). He was a most conscientious hagiographer, withdrawing from the world and living almost the life of a hermit that he might devote himself more closely to his work.
