	Pietro Aretino - LoveToKnow 1911
		PIETRO ARETINO (1492-1556), Italian author, was born in 1492 at Arezzo in Tuscany, from which place he took his name.
		Shortly after this Aretino attempted to regain the favour of the pope, but, having come to Rome, he composed a sonnet against a rival in some low amour, and in return was assaulted and severely wounded.
		So great did Aretino's pride grow, that he styled himself the "divine," and the "scourge of princes." He died in 1556, according to some accounts by falling from his chair in a fit of laughter caused by hearing some indecent story of his sisters.

		Pietro Aretino (April 20, 1492 – October 21, 1556) was an Italian author, playwright, poet and satirist who wielded immense influence on contemporary art and politics and invented modern literate pornography.
		The installation of the prudish Fleming Adrian VI ("la tedesca tigna" in Pietro's words) instead encouraged Aretino to seek new patrons away from Rome, mainly with Federico II Gonzaga in Mantua, and with the condottiero Giovanni de' Medici ("Giovanni delle Bande Nere").
		From the security of Venice Aretino "kept all that was famous in Italy in a kind of state of siege," in Jakob Burckhardt's estimation.

		Pietro Aretino colse al volo l'occasione "per vibrare una velenosa e trionfante stilettata al Giberti — che perdeva il suo più alto e temibile protettore —, con un sonetto che, oltre a soddisfare personalissimi rancori, rinnovava le insolenze di Pasquino contro i cardinali tutti, indegni pretendenti al soglio di Pietro" (p.
		Ma, diversamente dalla libertà che il nemico Aretino si era creato a Venezia (dove seppe viverla "con una sua sanguigna e corposa occupazione del presente"), "il Berni, più appartato, modesto, sfuggente fuori del metro consueto della cordialità amichevole, del commercio privato e geloso dei buoni sentimenti, subito la perderà con la morte" (p.

		The polemical writings which a hundred years earlier Poggio and his opponents interchanged, are just as infamous in their tone and purpose, but they were not composed for the press, but for a sort of private circulation.
		Aretino made all his profit out of a complete publicity, and in a certain sense may be considered the father of modern journalism.
		Aretino is most comical of all in the expression of whining mendicancy, as in the 'Capitolo' to Francis I; but the letters and poems made up of menaces and flattery cannot, notwithstanding all that is ludicrous in them, be read without the deepest disgust.

	Luba Freedman: Titian's Portraits through Aretino's Lens
		Titian's portraits were promoted by his friend, Pietro Aretino, an eminent poet and critic, who addressed his letters and sonnets to the same personages whom Titian portrayed.
		In many of these letters (which often included sonnets), Aretino described both an individual patron and Titian's portrait of that patron, thus stimulating the reciprocal relation between a verbal and pictorial portrait.
		Fusing iconographical analysis of the most famous Titian portraits with rhetorical analysis of Aretino's literary legacy as compared to contemporary reactions, Freedman demonstrates that it is due to Titian's many portraits and to Aretino's repeated simultaneous writings about them that the portrait ceased being primarily a social-historical document, preserving the sitter's likeness for posterity.
