Padre Mario da Calascio grammatico e lessicografo (Calascio 1550 - Roma 1620)

This praise of Father Mario written in Rome, his city of adoption, becomes indirectly a praise of its native place. In the historical and biographical sources it is emphasized that the city of Calascio has given him his name. Today, at a distance of four centuries, it was my intention to honor this famous citizen in a scientific meeting dedicated to him. Father Mario, praised in the great city of Rome, has restituted with dignity the honor and reputation to his birth place; it is right therefore to honor his memory among the famous citizens.
