Luigi Tansillo (1510–1568)
Tansillo, Luigi (tän-sil’lō). An Italian poet; born at Venosa, Italy, in 1510; died at Teano, Dec. 1, 1568. His early poems are: ‘The Two Pilgrims,’ a pastoral; ‘The Vintager’ (1532), and some amorous rhymes probably addressed to Maria of Aragon. To his later years belong the ‘Balia’; the ‘Podere’ (1560), an idyl on the charm of country life; and ‘St. Peter’s Tears,’ a religious work written by way of atonement for ‘The Vintager.’
