Basilio Zanchi

}}

Basilio Zanchi ( – 1558) was a 16th-century Italian humanist and scholar.

Zanchi was born in Bergamo. He wrote his poetry in Latin and was a canon in Letran and later a Vatican librarian.

He was imprisoned in Rome because he disobeyed the Pope Paul VI, probably because he accepted some Protestantism theories. He died at Castel Sant'Angelo. Provided by Wikipedia
