Il milanese Francesco Ellio traduttore del 'Persiles' di Cervantes (1626)

[Machine translation] The essay presents a research around the figure of the Milanese poet Francesco Ellio,\r\nwho lived in Milan in the early seventeenth century and is so far known for being the\r\nauthor of idylls. In this paper Ellio, whose dense network of contacts and relationships in the\r\nLombard city is gathered, is studied because he is the author of the first Italian translation of\r\nCervantes’ Perciles, the last masterpiece of the Hispanic genius, published in 1617. The translation\r\nwas edited in Venice for the printer Fontana in 1626, placing itself among the last traces\r\nof Ellio’s life, and will remain the only one in Italian until the nineteenth century.
