The Camillos of the Veneto

The earliest documented traces of the Camillos in the Veneto, go back to 1480 with the birth of a certain Giulio Camillo in Friuli. He was presumably born in the Castle of Zoppola, four miles from San Vito di Tagliamento, between Pordenone and Portogruaro.

He was nicknamed “Delminio”, possibly in relation to a Dalmation town Delminium, in present Croatia, from whence his father may have come.

Giulio studied humanities in Venice and Padova, specialising in philosophy and developed his own complex theories. He aspired to produce a unified theory of all knowledge, grouped in a universal encyclopaedia of science. He dedicated all his life to obtaining this perfection, which was to remain uncompleted.  He had many illustrious followers, who regarded him as a genius, but also many enemies, jealous of his successes at court, who denigrated his work. Certainly he was quite an extravagant fellow and his ideas appear brilliant, but are very difficult to follow and the truth probably lies somewhere in the middle.

He had constructed a portable wooden stage, from which he professed his claims, on his many tours around the country, obtaining ferocious derision as well as unconditioned praise. In 1530 he left for France and was received by King Francis I, who was so well impressed with Giulio Camillo, that he  kept him at his service as his personal tutor.
