Text in Italian
-----------------------------------
Remigio Nannini (1518/1521 – 1580/81) was a Dominican friar, author, editor and translator.
A scholar of striking versatility, Nannini's "fame as an author of profane literature [...] did not prevent him from being, at the same time, an active participant in the counter-Reformation [...] he was a Dominican friar who admired Machiavelli and Guicciardini.
