Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ANC-APO
ANDREINI, FRANCESCO , Italian actor, was born at Pistoia in the last half of the 16th century. He was a member of the
ANDREOSSY 971
company of the Gelosi which
Henry
  IV. summoned to Paris to please his
bride
 , the
young
  queen Marie de' Medici. His wife ISABELLA ANDREINI (1562-1604) was a member of her husband's company, distinguished alike for her acting and her character,commemorated in the medal struck at Lyons in the year of her death, with her portrait on one side, and the firfire of Fame on the
reverse
  with the words aeterna fama. She was also known in literature, her books including a
pastoral
 , Mirtilla (Verona, 1588), a volume of songs, sonnets and other poems (
Milan
 , 16or), and a collection of letters, published after her death. She inspired many of the French poets, notably Isaac du Ryer (d. c. 1631). Her son GIAMBATTISTA ANDREINI (1578-1650) was born in Florence, and had a
great
  success as a comedian in Paris under the name of Leylio. He was a favourite with Louis XIII., and also with the public, especially as the
young
  lover. He left a number of plays full of extravagant imagination. The best known are L'Adamo (
Milan
 , 1613), The Penitent Magdalene (Mantua, 1617), and The Centaur (Paris, 1622). From the first of these three volumes, which are extremely rare, Italians have often asserted that Milton, travelling at that time in their country, took the idea of Paradise Lost.
