AQUILA, SERAFINO

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 249 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: APO-ARN
AQUILA, SERAFINO DELL' (1466-1500), Italian poet and improvisatore, was
born
  in 1466 at the town of Aquila, from which he took his name, and died in the year 1500. He spent several years at the courts of
Cardinal
 
Sforza
  and
Ferdinand
 ,
duke
  of
Calabria
 ; but his
principal
  patrons were the Borgias at Rome, from whom he received many favours. Aquila seems to have aimed at an imitation of
Dante
  and Petrarch; and his poems, which were extravagantly praised during the author's lifetime, are occasionally of considerable merit. His reputation was in
great
  measure due to his remarkable skill as an improvisatore and musician. His works were printed at Venice in 1502, and there have been several subsequent
editions
 .
