Laura Battiferri (1523–1589), also called Laura Battiferri Ammanati, was an Italian poet during the Renaissance period. She was born in Urbino, Italy as the illegitimate daughter of Giovanni Antonio Battiferri and Maddalena Coccapani of Carpi. She published two books of poetry: ''The First Book of Tuscan Works'' (Florence, 1560) and ''The Seven Penitential Psalms… with some Spiritual Sonnets'' (Florence, 1564). She died in 1589 while compiling a third, ''Rime'', which was never published. She married the sculptor, Bartolomeo Ammannati in 1550 and they remained married until death. == Early life == Laura Battiferri was born in Urbino, Italy. Her father was a wealthy cleric and nobleman of Urbino named Giovanni Antonio Battiferri and her mother was Maddalena Coccapani of Carpi, his concubine. Giovanni enjoyed many privileges due to his status within the inner Vatican circle and as a “familiar” of Pope Paul III. Laura was born into a high social position and cosmopolitan wealth. Her father ensured her education, resulting in her literary familiarity with Latin, love of vernacular classics, and companionship with the Bible. Despite her illegitimate birth, Giovanni recognized Laura as his daughter and had her and two of his other children legitimized by Pope Paul III on February 9, 1543 and eventually, she would become his rightful heir. As she became an adult, she was well versed in literature, philosophy, and religion.〔 Irma B.
