Caro

Caro, ANNIBALE, Italian author and poet, born at Cittanuova in Ancona, 1507, lived as secretary with a succession of cardinals, and died at Rome in 1566. Only two humorous works appeared during his lifetime; the rest of his writings, including the Rime, a translation of the Æneid, a play, and four series of letters, have been most of them often republished, and, from their elegant style and masterly handling of Tuscan, are still esteemed classics.
