A notable Italian lexicographer; born in Feltre, Belluno, Aug. 26, 1688; died in Padua, April 4, 1768. Notwithstanding a humble origin and impoverished circumstances, he acquired scholarly distinction early in life, and consecrated his best years and efforts to a "Dictionary of all Latinity" (1771), published posthumously; and so thoroughly well done that every subsequent work of the kind has been indebted to it. The success of the volumes was largely due to the guidance and support of Facciolati, his collaborator.
