Gaspare Trimbocchi, called il Tribacco (c. 23 February 1439 – c. 1492) was an Italian Renaissance humanist.
He was born in Reggio Emilia, the illegitimate child of Jacopo Trimbocchi, although by 1456 he was recognized as offspring by his father and moved into the paternal home in Modena.
Borso added stipends to employ him as a teacher of Latin grammar in Modena, where among his pupils was Antonio Urceo (il Codro da Rubiera).
He was known as a scholar of Classic Latin texts, and praises from contemporaries such as Tito Vespasiano Strozzi, Matteo Maria Boiardo, Marcantonio Aldegati, Raffaele Zovenzoni, and Bartolomeo Paganelli, recall a dense output of Latin poetic forms, including hymns (Horatian carmen); satyrical poems; eclogues; epigrams; and occasional poems.
[1] Dionigi Trimbocco (died 1526) was putatively a grandson of Gaspare, and taught literature and classic languages for decades in Modena.
