Giovan Battista Pigna (1530-1575) was an Italian humanist, poet and historian from Ferrara. A reformer of the University of Ferrara, Pigna was secretary to Alfonso II d'Este, Duke of Ferrara and court historian at Ferrara.〔(Giovan Battista Pigna ), ''Pathways through literature: Torquato Tasso''. Accessed 12 May 2013.〕 Pigna's ''I romanzi'' (1554) argued that chivalric romances like those of Ariosto were a modern form of poetry equal to those considered by Aristotle's ''Poetics''. Torquato Tasso, who succeeded Pigna as court historian, attacked Pigna's defence of Ariostan poetry in his ''Discorsi dell'arte poetica''.〔 ==Works== * ''I romanzi di M.
