Isotta Brembati (c. 1530 – February 24, 1586), also known as Isotta Brembati Grumelli, was an Italian poet and countess.

Biography[edit]

Another painting of Brembati

Born in Bergamo in 1530[1] to Isotta Ludovico and Lucas Brembati,[2] Brembati was fluent in Greek, Latin, French, Spanish, and Italian.[3] Initially married to Count Lecio Secco d'Aragona di Calcio, she remarried to Gian Gerolamo Grumelli in 1561. Brembati and Grumelli gained significant local influence as a couple and were painted twice by Giovanni Battista Moroni.[4]

Legacy[edit]

Brembati gained widespread acclaim for her poetry. After her death in 1586, a book of poems titled Rime funerali di diversi illustri ingegni composte in volgare et latina favella in morte della molto illustre signora Isotta Brembati-Grumelli was published to commemorate her.[3]
