Angelico Aprosio
Angelico Aprosio ( religious name of Ludovico Aprosio , born October 29, 1607 in Ventimiglia , † February 23, 1681 ibid) was an Italian man of letters , literary critic and clergyman .
Life and work
At the age of 15 he entered the Augustinian order . From 1626 to 1621 he lived in the monastery in Siena , from 1634 to 1637 in Genoa and then in Pisa . Even after that he moved frequently within Italy and spent seven years in particular in Venice .
He was involved in various polemics with contemporaries, in particular in a ten-year verbal argument with the poet Tommaso Stigliani (1573-1651), in which Aprosio sided with the poet Giambattista Marino .
Aprosio published his works under numerous, sometimes strange-looking pseudonyms .
From 1648 he set up an extensive library in a monastery in his native Ventimiglia , which still exists today (as of 2020).
