From Wiki: Antonino Valsecchi, as secolo Antonio Valsecchi and in Latin Antoninus Valsecchius (25 December 1708 - 15 March 1791) was an Italian Roman Catholic apologist, member of the Dominican order. For thirty years, he was professor of theology at the University of Padua. Antonio was born in Verona. He entered a Dominican seminary as a youth, and by 1726 took the name of Antonino. After studying philosophy and theology in Venice, while residing in the Convent of the Gesuati there he gained a position teaching philosopy. In 1757, he was appointed professor of theology at Padua, a position he held for the remainder of his life. In 1760 he was appointed to the Accademia dei Ricovrati. His works not only commented on the Summa Theologiae but also criticized the rising Rationalism of the Enlightenment. He died in Padua, and was buried in the cloister of the monastery attached to Sant'Agostino, Padua.
