Lodovico Ariosto

Lodovico Ariosto was an Italian Renaissance poet whose Orlando Furioso (1516, final version 1532) is the supreme Italian epic — forty-six cantos of interwoven narratives about the wars of Charlemagne, the madness of the paladin Orlando for love of Angelica, and the adventures of the female knight Bradamante. Its combination of ironic lightness and formal mastery has no parallel in the epic tradition. Ariosto spent most of his life as a court official for the Este family in Ferrara, frequently complaining in his verse about the tedium of diplomatic missions.
