Count Giammaria Mazzuchelli (or Giovanni Maria Mazzucchelli) (28 October 1707 – 19 November 1765) was an Italian writer, bibliographer and literary historian.

Mazzucchelli's father bought the Moggi's sixteenth-century family house,[1] located between Brescia and Lake Garda, in 1722, and added the central building and the west wing some time later.

He began with numerous scholarly and accurate biographies of ancient and more modern authors, e.g., Archimedes,[2] Pietro Aretino,[3] Lodovico Adimari,[4] Luigi Alamanni, Matteo and Filippo Villani[5]).

In this endeavor, he relied on the Queriniana library in Brescia, donated by the Cardinal Angelo Maria Quirini, and his extensive correspondence with the scholars of Italy and Europe.

[6] However, Mazzuchelli opened the way to the history of Italian literature, recognized by Girolamo Tiraboschi in the Introduction of his greatest work,[7] and subsequent historians.
