GIOVANNI GUARINI

Giovanni Battista Guarini was an Italian poet. He was born in 1537 at Ferrara and died in 1612. After having studied at Ferrara, Pisa, and Padua, and lectured in his native city on Aristotle, he entered the service of Duke Alphonso II of Ferrara, who sent him on various important missions. Having lost the favour of the prince he retired into private life, but was recalled in 1585 to the office of secretary of state. Two years after he retired a second time. In 1597 he entered the service of Ferdinand I, grand-duke of Tuscany, a post which he soon resigned. His propensity to litigiousness necessitated his residence at Venice, Padua, and Rome. In 1605 he went as an ambassador of his native city to the court of Rome, to congratulate Paul V on his elevation. Guarini is one of the most elegant authors of Italy, as is especially shown in his Pastor Fido (Faithful Shepherd), a famous pastoral drama.
