Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: EUD-FAT
FABBRONI, ANGELO (1732-1803) , Italian ;biographer, was born at Marradi in Tuscany on the 25th of September 1732. After studying at Faenza he entered the Roman college founded for the education of
young
  Tuscans. On the conclusion of his studies he continued his stay in Rome, and having been introduced to the celebrated Jansenist Bottari, received from him the canonry of Santa Teresa in Trastevere. Some time after this he was chosen to preach a discourse in the pontifical chapel before Benedict XIV. and made such a favourable impression that the pontiff settled on him an
annuity
 , with the possession of which Fabbroni was able to devote his whole time to study. He wasintimate with
Leopold
  I., grand-duke of Tuscany, but the
Jesuits
  disliked him on account of his Jansenist views. Besides his other literary labours he began at Pisa in 1771 a literary
journal
 , which he continued till 1796. About 1772 he made a journey to Paris, where he formed the acquaintance of
Condorcet
 , Diderot, d'Alembert, Rousseau and most of the other eminent Frenchmen of the day. He also spent four months in London. He died at Pisa on the 22nd of September 18o3.
The following are his
principal
  works:Vitae Italorum doctrina excellentium qui saeculis X VII. et X VIII. floruerunt (20 vols., Pisa, 17781799, 18041805), the last two vols., published posthumously, contain a life of the author; Laurentii Medicei Magnifici Vita (2 vols., Pisa, 1784), a
work
  which served as a basis for H. Roscoe's Life of Lorenzo dei Medici; Leonis X. pontificis maximi Vita (Pisa, 1797) ; and Elogi di Dante Alighieri, di Angelo Poliziano, di Lodovico Ariosto, e di Torq. Tasso (Parma, 1800).
