Angelo Colocci (

Renaissance humanist. He assembled a large collection of antiquities in his villa beside the Aqua Virgo
.

Life

Colocci was born in 1467 at

menologium rusticum), some of which he displayed in his villa. There the grotto that he arranged round a Roman marble sleeping naiad,[8] with a humanist inscription— Huius nympha loci...—that was so exquisitely turned it passed for centuries as authentically Roman, was the original of garden features to be found in the great English landscape garden at Stourhead
and into the nineteenth century.

Colocci was a Latin poet of some reputation among his learned contemporaries, an antiquarian whose understanding of ancient

Fra Giocondo; Raphael's own copy of it, preserved in Munich,[13]
bears Colocci's notes and emendations as well as Raphael's own.

After a long illness, his wife Girolama Bufalini Colocci died in 1518. Colocci then took

Nocera on 1 May 1537 and resigned the position 15 June 1545.[15] He died in 1549.[1]

Legacy

Colocci's early biographer Federico Ubaldini[16] was noted by Bober.[17] Ubaldini's Vita di Mons. Angelo Colocci was edited by Fanelli, who also provided copious notes and a glossary.[18]

A conference was held on Angelo Colocci in the Palazzo della Signoria of his birthplace

Iesi in September 1969, which published their papers in 1972.[19] and 1979.[20]
