Giuseppe Ripamonti
Giuseppe Ripamonti (1573–1643) was an Italian historian.
Ripamonti was born in Colle Brianza, and became a Doctor of Biblioteca Ambrosiana in Milan.
He wrote in Latin Historia Ecclesiae Mediolanensis (1625) ("History of the Church of Milan"). He is perhaps better known for the De peste Mediolani quae fuit anno 1630 (1640) ("About the plague that occurred in Milan in year 1630"), which relates the events occurring in the city during the 1629–1631 Italian bubonic plague.
Alessandro Manzoni references Ripamonti for historical background in his novel The Betrothed.[1] In 1841, the latin chronicle of the plague by Ripamonti was published in Italian translation by Francesco Cusani in the 19th century Peste di Milano del 1630.
He died at Rovagnate (Brianza).
