Biography
Born in Genoa in 1553, he joined the Society of Jesus in 1571.[1] As Rector of the Accademia Partenia of Rome, he wrote a treatise on the chain impresa of the academy, emphasising its Neoplatonic and Christian connotations.[2] He was a professor of rhetoric, philosophy and theology at Milan and Genoa. Among his pupils was the future Cardinal Odoardo Farnese. He undertook with Claudio Acquaviva's approbation a copious ascetical commentary on the Common Rules (Regulae Communes Societatis Iesu), published in Milan in 1613. A staunch Ciceronian, Negrone was the author of a number of rhetorical works. He died in Milan in 1625.[1]
