Girolamo Ruscelli, probably born at Viterbo in 1518 though many texts give 1504, died in 1566 and was an Italian mathematician and cartographer active in Venice, who also wrote as an alchemist under the pseudonym Alessio Piemontese. He lived in Aquileia, Padua and Rome, where he founded the Accademia dello Sdegno in 1541, then in Naples, and from 1548 in Venice until his death. He worked as a polygraph, a man of letters who earned his living by writing, editing and translating for publishers, above all Plinio Pietrasanta until 1555, when the Inquisition tried and fined him for publishing a satirical poem, and later Vincenzo Valgrisi.
