An Italian pastoral poet; born in Ferrara, 1540 (?); died there (?) 1590. He wrote "The Sacrifice" (1554) before his fifteenth birthday, this piece being a pastoral in rather stilted metre and quite sophomoric in flavor; but as the maiden essay of the kind in literature, and as the model upon which Tasso constructed his "Aminta", it is not to be overlooked.
