Giacomo Lubrano was born in Naples in 1619. He entered the Society of Jesus on 30 April 1635, at the age of fifteen.[1] Apart from a two-year absence from his native city between 1658 and 1660, and his many preaching commitments in other Italian regions (he received invitations to deliver sermons in Rome, Palermo, Venice,[2] and even Malta), he spent most of his life in and around Naples. Late in life, he was affected by a partial paralysis of the tongue.[1] He died in Naples in 1693.[1]

Lubrano was widely known during his lifetime as a preacher and poet. He preached before Pope Clement X in November 1670, and in 1671 gave a sermon at the celebration of the canonisation of St. Francis Borgia in the Church of the Gesù in Rome.[3]Giambattista Vico, who cultivated poetry in his youth, called upon him for an opinion of his progress in poetry and submitted for his correction a canzone on the rose.[1][4]
His copious production in Italian and Latin includes two collections of sacred and moral verse, Scintille poetiche (Poetic Sparks, 1674) and Suaviludia musarum ad Sebethi ripam (1690), as well as homilies, letters, and orations.[1]
Lubrano's collection of Italian poems was published with the title of Scintille poetiche in 1674 and 1690 under the pseudonym of Paolo Brinacio. Both chronologically and stylistically, his Italian poetry represents one of the most extreme instances of late Neapolitan conceptismo.[5] Lubrano's poetic style was severely criticized by many of his contemporaries, especially his compatriots Nicola Capasso and Francesco Maria Casini. Despite his orthodoxy and piety, Lubrano was subject to criticism from within the Church itself by those who deplored the conceited and hyperbolic style of some religious writers and preachers of the day.[3][6] His poetry was mocked as absurd for over two centuries, and has been reappraised only recently for those same extreme conceptismo which previously caused it to be dismissed.[5] Many of his lyrics are included in Benedetto Croce's influential anthology of Baroque poetry (Lirici marinisti, Bari, 1910).[1]
In his poetry, Lubrano expresses a troubled if deep faith and a view of the natural world more akin to that of Lucretius or Heraclitus than to the philosophy of Nature endorsed by Jesuit authorities of his day.[5] In philosophy he supports Neoplatonism and opposes the subtleties of late Baroque Scholastic Aristotelianism.[1]
^In Venice Lubrano became friends with Cristoforo Ivanovich, who published his correspondence with the Jesuit poet in his Minerva al tavolino (Venice, 1681).
^Pope Innocent XI in his decree of 1680 had focussed the concern of many clerics about the contemporary fashion for witty sermons which, in his words, "quasi praestigiis auditorum animos auresque ludificant".
