ADRIANI, GIOVANNI BATTISTA (1513-1579)

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 217 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ADA-AIZ
ADRIANI, GIOVANNI BATTISTA (1513-1579) , Italian historian, was born of a patrician family of Florence, and was secretary to the republic of Florence. He was among the de-fenders of the city during the siege of 1530, but subsequently joined the Medici party and was appointed
professor
  of
rhetoric
  at the university. At the instance of Cosimo I. he wrote a history of his own times, from 1536 to 1574, in Italian, which is generally, but according to
Brunet
  erroneously, considered a continuation of
Guicciardini
 . De Thou acknowledges himself greatly indebted to this history, praising it especially for its accuracy. Adriani composed funeral orations in Latin on the emperor Charles V. and other noble personages, and was the author of a
long
 
letter
  on ancient painters and sculptors prefixed to the third volume of
Vasari
 . His Isloria dei suoi tempi was published in Florence in 1583; a new edition appeared also in Florence in 1872.
See G. M. Mazzucchelli, Gli Scrittori d' Italia, i. p. 151 (Brescia, 1753).
