Federigo Nomi

Born in Anghiari in the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, Nomi lived most of his life in Arezzo.

[3] A close friend of Francesco Redi and Antonio Magliabechi, Nomi was a member of the Academy of Arcadia, using the pseudonym ‘Cerifone Nedeatide’.

[4] His major works were the epic poem Buda liberata (1703), modelled on Torquato Tasso's Jerusalem Delivered, and the mock-heroic poem Il catorcio d'Anghiari, written about 1684 in imitation of Alessandro Tassoni's La secchia rapita and published posthumously in 1830.

[1] Other works include neoclassic lyrics, religious poetry, Italian translations of Horace's Odes and Epodes, and a collection of Latin satires written in imitation of Juvenal and published in Leiden by Jakob Gronovius (1703).

[1] Nomi translated Francesco Redi's Esperienze intorno a diverse cose naturali into Latin.
