Pietro Aretino (US: /ˌɑːrɪˈtiːnoʊ, ˌær-/,[1][2] Italian: [ˈpjɛːtro areˈtiːno]; 19 or 20 April 1492[3] – 21 October 1556) was an Italian author, playwright, poet, satirist and blackmailer, who wielded influence on contemporary art and politics. He was one of the most influential writers of his time and an outspoken critic of the powerful.[4] Owing to his communications and sympathies with religious reformers, he is considered to have been a Nicodemite Protestant.[5][6][7][8] Aretino was a good friend and publicist of the Venetian artist Titian, who painted his portrait three times. Aretino is also remembered for an exchange of letters he had with Michelangelo concerning the latter's fresco The Last Judgment.
