He afterwards became canon of St. John Lateran at Rome, and prior of San Silvestro at Frascati, and in 1532 bishop of Alba. He was a learned scholar, and one of the best Latin poets of his day. He wrote in Italian as well as in Latin. Among his works are, a metrical treatise De Arte Poetica (Rome, 1527): Christians: and Scacchiae Ludus. All of these have been translated into English.
