Abstract
Aonio Paleario is known as an exponent of the Italian reformation movement of the sixteenth century. His major work is the Actio in Romanos pontifices, published about 30 years after his death, in 1600. He was born in Veroli, in central-southern Italy, and during his entire life was in contact with major Italian intellectuals; his philosophical poem De animorum immortalitate put him at the core of the sixteenth century discussion on the immortality of the soul. Admired by his contemporaries for the elegance of his Latin, Paleario got close to concepts and ideas of the evangelical movement, to Martin Luther, Zwingli, and the Conciliarist movement. He was accused of heresy for the first time in 1542 but was released from the charge; thereafter, in 1567, he was again charged with heresy and was arrested in Milan. He refused to deny his faith and was executed in Rome in 1570.
