Cornelio Sozzini (died c. 1586) was an Italian humanist and early Unitarian.[1][2] He was one of the sons of the law professor Lelio Sozzini.[3][4][5]
Cornelio was raised mostly in Padua where his father Marcantonio Sozzini, or Mariano Sozzini, was a law professor. With his brother Lelio Sozzini he spent most of his adult life in Bologna, eventually leaving since "heretics" were safer in Switzerland. [6]
