PALLAVICINO (1618-1644)  , See also:Italian writer of pasquinades, a member of the old Italian See also:family of the Pallavicini, was See also:born at See also:Piacenza in 1618 . He received a See also:good See also:education at See also:Padua and elsewhere, and See also:early in See also:life entered the Augustinian See also:order, residing chiefly in See also:Venice . For a See also:year he accompanied Ottavio See also:Piccolomini, See also:duke of See also:Amalfi, in his See also:German See also:campaigns as See also:field See also:chaplain, and shortly after his return he published a number of See also:clever but exceedingly scurrilous satires on the See also:Roman See also:curia and on the powerful See also:house of the See also:Barberini, which was so keenly resented at See also:Rome that a See also:price was set on his See also:head . A Frenchman, See also:Charles de Breche, decoyed him from Venice to the neighbourhood of See also:Avignon, and there betrayed him . After fourteen months' imprisonment he was beheaded at Avignon on the 6th of See also:March, 1644 . His Opere permesse was published at Venice in 1655, but being, as may be imagined, inferior in scurrility and grossness (See also:Pallavicino's specialities), are much less prized by the curious than the Opere scelte (See also:Geneva, 166o), which were more than once reprinted in See also:Holland, and were translated into German in 1663 .
