Jacopo Sannazaro

Jacopo Sannazaro (died 1530) was born in Naples into a noble family originally from Lombardy. Having entered the service of the Aragonese kings of Naples, he took the Latin name Actius Syncerus in the humanist circle of the court. When King Frederick lost his kingdom, he followed him into exile in France in 1501 and returned to Naples only several years later. There he published in 1526 a Latin poem on the birth of Christ. He died in Naples on 6 August 1530.
