Overall: Count Algarotti was an Italian poet, scientist, and scholar who was part of high society. He is best known for his work on Newton. He spent a significant amount of his life in England, though he traveled among London, Berlin, and Venice throughout his life. While the DNB characterizes him as a poet, his poetic works are not accessible through ECCO or ESTC, perhaps because they are not in English?
