Ludovico Ariosto was an Italian poet, author of the epic poem "Orlando furioso" (1516), "Orlando Enraged". He was born at Reggio, in Emilia, where his father Niccolò Ariosto was commander of the citadel. From his earliest years, Ludovico was very interested in poetry, but he was obliged by his father to study law. After five years of law, Ariosto was allowed to read classics under Gregorio da Spoleto. Wikipedia
