Born at Bologna, his early studies were superintended by Bonaventura Rossi, and he was afterwards placed under the care of the Jesuits. [.] His labours were highly serviceable to the cause of Italian literature : they display great intelligence, indefatigable industry, very considerable reading, and much bibliographical knowledge. He was a member of several academies; of the Affidati of Pavia; the Arcadi of Rome, with the name of Dioneo Termeonio; the Gelati of Bologna, and of the Società Colombaria of Florence."
