Specialist Notes
Lodovico Baitelli was born in Brescia to the noble Costanzo and lived in the fourth and fifth decades of the 17th century. He studied at the University of Padua and earned a doctorate in law. After returning to Brescia, he played a prominent role in local political life and was sent to Venice several times to present the interests and requests of his city. And in Venice his ability as a speaker and his solid legal knowledge earned him, in addition to the title of count and knight, the appointment as consultant in iure. Consultations, considerations, writings, opinions, summaries and historical-legal summaries, written, for the most part, in collaboration with Scipione Feramosca, testify to this activity of B., during which he had to deal with the most varied topics.
