Guarino Guarini Biography / Biography of Guarino Guarini Biography Biography (685 words)
Guarino Guarini (1624-1683) was an Italian architect, priest, and philosopher, whose mathematical studies enabled him to create the most fantastic of all baroque churches.
Guarino Guarini was born in Modena on Jan. 17, 1624.
Guarini studied philosophy and theology--and apparently also architecture--before returning to Modena in 1647, where he was ordained, began to work as an architect, and taught in the Theatine house until a disagreement with the ruling Este family in 1655 forced him to leave.

Though he cultivated poetry for pastime, Guarini aimed at state employment as the serious business of bis life, and managed to be sent on various embassies and missions by his ducal master.

Abandoning so uncongenial a strain upon his faculties, Guarini retired in 1582 to his ancestral farm, the Villa Guarina, in the lovely country that lies between the Adige and P0, where he gave himself up to the cares of his family, the nursing of his dilapidated fortunes and the composition of the Pastor fido.
