Luigi Alamanni (or Alemanni) (6 March 1495 – 18 April 1556) was an Italian poet and statesman. He was regarded as a prolific and versatile poet. He was credited with introducing the epigram into Italian poetry
He wrote a large number of poems, distinguished by the purity and excellence of their style. His 'Opere Toscane' consists of satirical pieces written in epigram. His use of Horatian epistolary satire is important and his tenth satire was used as a model by Sir Thomas Wyatt in his poem 'Mine own John Poyntz' which introduced the form into English literature.
This book is extremely rare, as Pope Clement VII ordered its destruction. The poems and satires collected in the 'Opere Toscane' are dedicated to his protector the king Francois 1st of France.
