Casa, Giovanni della

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.04 sec.

Casa, Giovanni della (1503-1556)

Italian writer and cleric. His treatise on courtly manners, Galateo, written 1551-55, printed in 1558, was attempted to follow the success of Baldassare Castiglione's The Courtier by providing would-be social climbers with an easy guide to etiquette and modern manners.

He was appointed archbishop of Benevento and nuncio (papal ambassador) to Venice in 1544 by Pope Paul III, and was entrusted with much delicate diplomacy.
