An Italian poet; born at Venosa, Italy, in 1510; died at Teano, Dec. 1, 1568. His early poems are: "The Two Pilgrims", a pastoral; "The Vintager" (1532), and some amorous rhymes probably addressed to Maria of Aragon. To his later years belong the "Balia"; the "Podere" (1560), an idyl on the charm of country life; and "St. Peter's Tears", a religious work written by way of Atonement for "The Vintager".
