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.[1]
In his time, Piccolomini was one of the most revered professors of philosophy in Italy and the most highly paid at Padua.[2] Torquato Tasso called him "a veritable sea and ocean of all learning".
