Andrea Barbazza (1581/2 – 7 August 1656) was an Italian Marinist poet and literary critic.
Biography
He was born of a noble family in Bologna between 1581 and 1582. He was first (1611-1613) in Mantua, at the service of Ferdinando Gonzaga, then, after a long stay in Rome (1624-1632), he settled permanently in his native Bologna where he occupied important legal and administrative offices.[1] He was renowned as an expert on questions of honour.
On 26 April 1614 he married Countess Bianca Bentivoglio, granddaughter of Bianca Cappello, by whom he had a son, Ferdinando.[2] In 1648, after the death of his first wife, he married Countess Silvia Boccaferri, by whom he had two sons, Filippo and Bartolomeo.[2]
Barbazza was a member of the Accademia dei Gelati of Bologna , the Accademia degli Incogniti of Venice and the Accademia degli Umoristi of Rome.[2] He was decorated with the Order of Saint Michael by Marie de' Medici in 1612.[2]
Barbazza was a friend and correspondent of Claudio Achillini, Angelico Aprosio, Pietro Della Valle, Giambattista Basile and Giambattista Marino.[2] His friendship with Marino led him to attack Tommaso Stigliani in his Strigliate (1629). He also published a pastoral drama, L'Amorosa Costanza, and a small number of lyrics in contemporary anthologies.
