Jacopo Sannazaro or Sannazzaro (1458 - April 27, 1530) was a Italian poet, humanist and epigrammist from Naples. He wrote easily in Latin, in Italian and Neapolitan, but is best remembered for his humanist classic "Arcadia", a masterwork that illustrated the possibilities of poetical prose in Italian, and instituted the theme of "Arcadia", representing an idyllic land, in European literature: see the theme Et In Arcadia Ego.
