Whilst a prisoner in Venice, he received from a friend a manuscript copy of a satire, entitled, La Maschera Scoperta, written by the father Angelico Aprosio of Ventimiglia against Arcangela Tarabotti.
Aprosio wrote a defence of his work which contained the most bitter charges against Brusoni; and it seems that others, too, published still more violent satires against him, amongst which is a volume of about 200 pages, entitled Il Rovescio di Girolamo Brusoni.
[2] After recovering his liberty, he lived for a long time in Venice, where he became a member of the Accademia degli Incogniti with the pseudonym of Aggirato and befriended Ferrante Pallavicino.
[1] Later, Brusoni wrote a short biography of his friend, which was included in the latter's posthumous edition of selected works.
[2] He wrote a wide variety of literary, historical, and political works, mostly during his time in the Accademia degli Incogniti.
