Topic: Ludovico Ariosto


  
  CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Ludovico Ariosto
Ludovico was the eldest of ten children, and on the death of his father, in 1500, became head of the family.
Ariosto wrote sonnetti and canzoni in the style of Petrarch, and five comedies of which the earliest," La Cassaria", was represented for the first time in 1509, and the latest, "La Scolastica" was completed by his brother Gabriel on the death of the poet.
The principal foundation of Ariosto's glory is the "Orlando Furioso".

Ludovico Ariosto[lOOdOvE´kO AryOs´tO] Pronunciation Key, 1474–1533, Italian epic and lyric poet.
As a youth he was a favorite at the court of Ferrara; later he was in the service of Ippolito I, Cardinal d'Este, and from 1517 until his death served Alfonso, duke of Ferrara.
Ariosto also wrote lyric verse of unequal merit, but he was among the first to write comedies in the vernacular (based loosely on Roman models), among them I Suppositi [the pretenders] and Il Negromante [the necromancer].
