Pietro Bembo (1470–1547)
Autore di The Prettiest Love Letters in the World: Letters Between Lucrezia Borgia & Pietro Bembo, 1503-1519
Sull'Autore
Considered a truly Renaissance man, Pietro Bembo was the most influential cultural figure of his time. He knew all the men of letters of his age, was a lover of Lucrezia Borgia, and a favorite of Popes Leo X, Clement VII, and Paul II, who finally made him a cardinal in 1539. Bembo, who modeled mostra altro himself on Petrarch, wrote in both Latin and Italian. For his important literary work, a dialogue on love titled Gli Asolani (1505), Bembo took inspiration from the Symposium of Plato but followed Petrarch's Tuscan. Bembo prepared classic editions of Dante and Petrarch and defended their use of Tuscan Italian. (Bowker Author Biography) mostra meno

Lord Byron apparently believed in the sincerity of their motives. It was he who praised the letters as "the prettiest" in the world. But humorist Will Cuppy had doubts, noting that her poet friends tended to show up at mealtimes.
