Giorgio Baffo

Giorgio Alvise Baffo (Venetian: Zorzi Alvixe Baffo; 11 August 1694 – 30 July 1768) was an Italian poet and senator of the Venetian Republic.[1][2]

Born in Venice, Baffo was, like Ruzante, Carlo Goldoni and Berto Barbarani, a major writer in the Venetian language. He wrote many erotic sonnets.[3] Baffo died in 1768 in the Palazzo Bellavite, Venice.
