	Ottavio Farnese, Duke of Parma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ottavio Farnese (9 October 1521 - September 18, 1586) was Duke of Parma and Piacenza from 1556 to 1586.
		Ottavio was the second son of Pierluigi Farnese, Duke of Parma and Piacenza, grandson of Pope Paul III, and brother to Cardinal Ranuccio Farnese.
		During the interregnum that followed, Ottavio again tried to induce the governor of Parma to give up the city to him, but met with no better success; however, on the election of Giovan Maria Giocchi to the papacy as Julius III the duchy was conferred on him in 1551.

		It was not six months after the advent of Farnese to power, before that bold and subtle chieftain had seized the double-edged sword of religious dissension as firmly as he had grasped his celebrated brand when he boarded the galley of Mustapha Bey, and the Netherlands were cut in twain, to be re-united nevermore.
		Ottavio Gonzaga, the intimate friend of Don John, and now high in the confidence of Parma, wrote to La Motte, indignantly denying the truth of Bien Aimé’s tattle, and affirming that not a word had ever been uttered by himself or by any gentleman in his presence to the disparagement of the Governor of Gravelines.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Julius III
		The adherents of Farnese and the French party finally reached a compromise and agreed upon Cardinal del Monte, who was duly elected on 7 February, 1550, after a conclave of ten weeks, although the emperor had expressly excluded him from the list of candidates.
		But, when Farnese applied to France for aid against the emperor, Julius allied himself with the emperor, declared Farnese deprived of his fief, and sent troops under the command of his nephew Giambattista del Monte to co-operate with Duke Gonzaga of Milan in the capture of Parma.
		Discouraged at his failure as an ally of Charles V, the pope henceforth abstained from interfering in the political affairs of Italy.

		Under the protection of Pope Paul III (Alessandro Farnese) and his grandson Alessandro Cardinal Farnese, Casa rose to become an archbishop and nuncio to Venice, with a cardinal's purple in view.
		Frustrated in the latter ambition by Pope Paul's death in 1549, he exiled himself to the Venetian countryside, where he wrote the works that would make his name in Italian letters--the wry essay on manners, Galateo, which is indebted to Boccaccio, and the tormented lyric sequence that transformed Petrarchan tradition.
		At the same time he began composing poems in Latin that tell the story of his disappointment, motivate his exile, cultivate his powerful patron Cardinal Farnese, and artfully prepare for return to Rome.
