Angelo Mazza (16 November 1741 – 11 May 1817) was an Italian neoclassical poet, and classical scholar.
[1] As a poet he belonged to the group of Italian men of letters who fell under the spell of the English eighteenth-century classical school of poetry.
He derived themes such as the power of music from English literature, to which he was introduced by his teacher and friend Cesarotti.
He subsequently translated and imitated English poets, notably Akenside, Dryden, Mason, Pope, Gray, and Thomson.
Mazza was a prominent member of the Academy of Arcadians, with the pseudonym Armonide Elideo.
