Caporali, Caesar
, an Italian poet and governor
of Atri in the kingdom of Naples, was born at Perugia in
]530. He wrote a satirical poem on courts and courtiers,
which procured him much reputation, while his circle of
friends- and admirers was greatly enlarged by. the vivacity
and pleasantry of his conversation. Among the number of
his patrons was Ascanio, marquis of Coria, at whose house
he died in 1601. He wrote also some poems of the romantic class, as his “Life of Maecenas,” left unfinished,
and two comedies, viz. “Lo Seiocco,” and “La Ninnetta,” published at Venice in 1605. A collection -of his
poems, with the observations of his son Charles, was published at Venice in 1656 and 1662. 2
