Le Corrège
Giovanni da Correggio was born sometime around 1451 to a noble family in Bologna, and was probably the illegitimate son of a certain Antonio da Correggio (not the artist), who died in 1474. Da Correggio is probably from the same feudal family that produced Niccolò da Correggio. He does not appear to have had any formal education in academics, oration, grammar, or rhetoric, but nevertheless goes on to become a very eloquent wandering preacher.
