Bernardino Corio


Bernardino Corio was an Italian humanist and historian of the Renaissance. He wrote Historia di Milano circa 1500.
He came from a noble family and dedicated himself to the study of philology. In 1474 he entered into the service of Duke Galeazzo Maria Sforza of Milan and, after his death in 1476, served his son Gian Galeazzo Sforza. Until the reign of Ludovico Sforza he occupied a number of various posts. Following Ludovico's downfall, Corio left Milan. Nothing is known about his fate thereafter.
