Giambattista Andreini
Giambattista Andreini (February 9, 1576 – June 7, 1654)[2] was an Italian actor and playwright.
Life
Born in Florence to stage stars Isabella Andreini and Francesco Andreini, he had a great success as a comedian in Paris under the name of Leylio. He was a favourite with Louis XIII, and also with the public, especially as the young lover. [3] His wife Virginia Ramponi-Andreini, whom he married in 1601, was also a celebrated actress and singer.
Works
He left a number of plays full of extravagant imagination. The best known are L'Adamo (Milan, 1613), The Penitent Magdalene (Mantua, 1617), and The Centaur (Paris, 1622). From the first of these three volumes, which are extremely rare, Italians have often asserted that Milton, travelling at that time in their country, took the idea of Paradise Lost.
