Ludovico Pasquali

Ludovico Pasquali (c.1500–1551) was a poet in the Italian and Latin languages from Cattaro in modern Montenegro, then ruled by the Republic of Venice.

[1] Pasquali was born and died in Kotor, in the Albania Veneta (today in Montenegro).

He was a friend, admirer and fellow countryman of Giovanni Bona Boliris.

Pasquali studied in the University of Padova and -after being enslaved in Crete by the Turks- returned to his hometown where he spent all his remaining life promoting the culture of Renaissance Italy.

[3][4][verification needed] The Croatian Encyclopedia describes him as a 'Croatian poet' and notes his works in Italian and Latin.
