Archaeologist and art historian Luigi Lanzi was born in Italy on June 14, 1732, and died on March 30, 1810. He was buried alongside Michelangelo in Florence's Santa Croce church after passing away. Lanzi, a priest who was raised in Treia, was born. He joined the Jesuit Order, lived in Rome, and was named keeper of Florence's galleries in 1773, where he rose to the position of president of the Accademia della Crusca. He then pursued studies in language, Etruscan art, and Italian painting. Corssen protested in the name of his true contributions to philology and archaeology in response to the insults he received from later writers on the Etruscan language. A translation in terza rima and an edition of Hesiod's Works and Days were among his other creations. It was started in 1785, recast, and finished in 1808. His Opere sacre, a collection of essays on spiritual topics, comes to a close the list of his literary creations.
