Baptista Porta : ウィキペディア英語版
Giambattista della Porta

Giambattista della Porta ((:dʒambatˈtista ˌdelːa ˈpɔrta)) (1535?〔The date of della Porta's birth is ambiguous due to mis-statements by della Porta himself, in which he claimed to have written ''Magiae naturalis'' at an incorrectly young age.〕 – 4 February 1615), also known as Giovanni Battista Della Porta was an Italian scholar, polymath and playwright who lived in Naples at the time of the Scientific Revolution and Reformation.
Giambattista della Porta spent the majority of his life on scientific endeavors. He benefited from an informal education of tutors and visits from renowned scholars. His most famous work, first published in 1558, was entitled ''Magiae Naturalis (Natural Magic).'' In this book he covered a variety of the subjects he had investigated, including the study of: occult philosophy, astrology, alchemy, mathematics, meteorology, and natural philosophy. He was also referred to as "professor of secrets".〔
==Childhood==
Giambattista della Porta was born at Vico Equense, near Naples, to the nobleman Nardo Antonio della Porta. He was the third of four sons, second to survive childhood, having an older brother Gian Vincenzo and a younger brother Gian Ferrante.〔''(Giambattista della Porta )'', (accessed 28-08-2012)〕 Della Porta had a privileged childhood including his education. His father had a thirst for learning, a trait he would pass onto all of his children. He surrounded himself with distinguished people and entertained the likes of philosophers, mathematicians, poets, and musicians. The atmosphere of the house resembled an academy for his sons. The members of the learned circle of friends stimulated the boys, tutoring and mentoring them, under strict guidance of their father. It is possible that his father's interest and influence in providing a well-rounded education helped to turn della Porta into the Renaissance man that he was to become.
As well as having talents for the sciences and mathematics, all the brothers were also extremely interested in the arts, music in particular. Despite their interest none of them possessed any sort of talent for it, but they did not allow that to stifle their progress in learning of theory. They were all accepted into the Scuola di Pitagora, a highly exclusive academy of musicians. Apparently the pure impressiveness of their intellect was enough to allow three tone-deaf mathematicians into a school for the musically gifted. The status of the family as a symbol of knowledge and intellectual growth surely helped in their acceptance as well.
More aware of their social position than the idea that his sons could have professions in science, Nardo Antonio was raising the boys more as gentlemen; very well rounded gentlemen at that. Therefore, the boys struggled with singing, as that was considered a courtly accomplishment of gentlemen. They were taught to dance, ride, to take part and perform well in tournaments and games, and dress well so they could look good doing all these noble activities. The training gave della Porta, at least earlier in his life, a taste for the finer aspects of his privileged living, where he surrounded himself in noble company and lavish things. This kind of lifestyle, the façade and showmanship involved in presenting one's self carried with Giambattista throughout his life.〔Louise Clubb, Giambattista Della Porta, Dramatist. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1965〕
