This essay deals with Giuseppe Billanovich's studies about the biography of Teofilo Folengo (1491-1544) between the 30es and the 40es of 20th century. Billanovich's archival scholarship was able to demolish the biographical legend supported by Francesco De Sanctis's Storia della letteratura italiana and offered a new and reliable image of the extraordinary poet monk, inventor of the most sophisticated version of macaronic poetry, which would have later spread all across Europe.

Abstract
This essay deals with Giuseppe Billanovich's studies about the biography of Teofilo Folengo (1491-1544) between the 30es and the 40es of 20th century. Billanovich's archival scholarship was able to demolish the biographical legend supported by Francesco De Sanctis's Storia della letteratura italiana and offered a new and reliable image of the extraordinary poet monk, inventor of the most sophisticated version of macaronic poetry, which would have later spread all across Europe.
