PALLAVICINO, FERRANTE (1618-1644) , See also:Italian writer of pasquinades, a member of the old Italian See also:family of the Pallavicini, was See also:born at See also:Piacenza in 1618. He received a See also:good See also:education at See also:Padua and elsewhere, and See also:early in See also:life entered the Augustinian See also:order, residing chiefly in See also:Venice. For a See also:year he accompanied Ottavio See also:Piccolomini, See also:duke of See also:Amalfi, in his See also:German See also:campaigns as See also:field See also:chaplain, and shortly after his return he published a number of See also:clever but exceedingly scurrilous satires on the See also:Roman See also:curia and on the powerful See also:house of the See also:Barberini, which was so keenly resented at See also:Rome that a See also:price was set on his See also:head. A Frenchman, See also:Charles de Breche, decoyed him from Venice to the neighbourhood of See also:Avignon, and there betrayed him. After fourteen months' imprisonment he was beheaded at Avignon on the 6th of See also:March, 1644. His Opere permesse was published at Venice in 1655, but being, as may be imagined, inferior in scurrility and grossness (Pallavicino's specialities), are much less prized by the curious than the Opere scelte (See also:Geneva, 166o), which were more than once reprinted in See also:Holland, and were translated into German in 1663.
