An Italian comedy-writer; born in Venice, Feb. 25, 1707; died at Paris, Jan. 6, 1793. He was brought up by the Jesuits, and began the study of law; succeeding in his practice after some early vicissitudes, but always manifesting his genius for dramatic authorship. "The Good Father" and "The Singer" are among his early attempts; but his enduring renown dates from the appearance of "The Venetian Gondolier", "Belisarius", and "Rosamond", although as a writer of pure comedy he is best represented by works like "The Coffee House".
