(Rimini 1753 - Rimini 1798) poet and academic, fled to Hungary as a young man to join the military life. In 1783 he was in Vienna, where he got in contact with fellow citizen Giuseppe Garampi, who was the Nuncio (diplomatic representative of the Holy See) there.
He travelled in Switzerland (where he met the beloved poet Salomon Gessner) and in Germany; this experience is told in Viaggio sul Reno e ne' suoi contorni (1795).
His writings contributed to the diffusion of Pre-Romantic themes in Italy. DBI
