Career

Lodovico Antonio Loschi (1744–1811), son of Pellegrino Niccolò Loschi, a physician (Dottore in Medicina), was born in Modena. Gifted with an "ingegno pronto, versatile e bizzarro" (Tiraboschi (1937):4), he mastered English and French and became a tireless translator, editor, and poet. Although his father wished him to pursue philosophy and law, their conflict led to government intervention, and in 1763 he suffered corrective confinement in Carpi. He later studied at the University of Bologna and eventually became Professor of Ethics at the University of Modena in the late 1780s.


In 1780 he married Colomba Gerez in Venice, with whom he lived until her death in 1795; their only daughter died in infancy. That same year he married Luigia Giardini. After the fall of the Este government in 1797, Loschi held several posts in Modena’s public education and instruction commissions. He remained active in academic and civic life until his death in Modena in 1811.
