Anton Maria Del Chiaro (born in 1669, died after 1727) was a Florentine Italian secretary of Constantin Brâncoveanu, the Prince of Wallachia.
[3] After Brancovan's deposition and death in 1714, Del Chiaro remained in Wallachia as a teacher of Italian and Latin for some young princes.
When, in 1716, Mavrocordato was deposed by the troops of Prince Eugene of Savoy, and held prisoner, Del Chiaro accompanied him to Hermannstadt (Sibiu), then returned to Venice in 1717, where he began to write his main work, Istoria delle moderne rivoluzioni della Valachia, which was issued the following year.
Around the end of 1718 or in early 1719, Antonio Maria Del Chiaro, for unexplained reasons, settled in London, but did not succeed to live well there, and he soon became short of money.
[4] However, it is not before 1726 that he chose to come back to Italy, where he had to ask for financial support from his friend Apostolo Zeno; he took the position of a teacher of Latin, rhetoric and history in Portoferraio, in the Island of Elba.
