CAIMO, Norberto

(?-?). Not much is known about this Lombard cleric and traveller (see F. Meregalli, Storia delle relazioni letterarie tra Italia e Spagna, Venezia: Libreria Universitaria, 1962, vol. 3, p. 20). He visited England in 1756, as we can understand from the fact that he arrived in Portsmouth on the same day as navy officer John Byng (see ODNB). His English experience is told in his Lettere d’un vago italiano ad un suo amico, Pittburgo, 1767[1] (mentioned in the Roman periodical Efemeridi letterarie on 16.01.1773). The World Biographical Information System  (see Sitografia) say only that he was active between 1755 and 1767(see S. Amat).
