Biography
Francesco Piccolomini (1523–1607) was senior chair of natural philosophy at the University of Padua from 1560–1598, moving there from previous professorial positions at the University of Siena, Macerata, and Perugia. His best-known work, Universa philosophia de moribus (A Comprehensive Philosophy of Morals), systematizes and extends Aristotle's work on ethics and politics. He sparred intellectually with his fellow Aristotelian professor Jacopo Zabarella.
He was in his time one of the most revered (and the highest paid) philosophy professor, and Torquato Tasso called him "a veritable sea and ocean of all learning".
