Antonio Rocco
Illustration — Portrait of the Italian philosophy teacher and a writer Antonio Rocco (1586–1653) by Jacopo Pecini, from the book, Le glorie degli Incogniti, 1647 Antonio Rocco (1586–1653) was an Italian priest and philosophy teacher (he graduated under Cesare Cremonini), and a writer. Ever since 1888, when he was identified as its anonymous author, he is best known for his satirical pederastic dialogue, L'Alcibiade, fanciullo a scola, written in 1630 and published in 1652. The work was immediately suppressed, and only ten copies survived the attempts to destroy the whole print run.
