Giuseppe Buonfiglio
Giuseppe Costanzo Buonfiglio (Messina, 1547 – Messina, 21 December 1622) was an Italian soldier and historian.
Born in Messina in 1545, or according to other sources in 1547, by Giovanni Artale, baron of Casale and Trisino, he was at the service of the Duke of Alba during the Eighty Years' War.
On his return to Sicily, he wrote the Sicilian Historia, published in Venice in 1604, imbued "with a municipal pride that almost always prevents him from having a serene vision of the past." In 1595, when the Ottoman fleet, commanded by Sinan Pasha, threatened Messina, he was entrusted with the command of 600 arquebusiers and a company of horsemen. He died in Messina on 21 December 1622.
In 1721, Johann Lorenz von Mosheim translated into Latin and included in the Thesaurus antiquitatum et historiarum nobilissimarum insularum Siciliae (IX, coll. 1-120) by Johann Georg Graevius and Pieter Burman the work of Buonfiglio, with the title Messanae urbis nobilissimae descriptio, octo libris comprehensa.
