There is speculation contrary to Salvio's claims, based on a 1734 description of a manuscript that is no longer extant, that Greco was back in London in 1632. It is also possible that he was robbed to or from his visit to London, and restored his fortunes in Paris. Salvio also reports that he bequethed his fortune to the Jesuits. As Salvio's text was published in 1634, that is given as the year of his death. According to Salvio, Greco ended up at the court of King Philipp IV in Spain, and from there followed a Spanish nobleman to the West Indies, where he died. (1)ĭetails concerning the rest of his life are speculative, relying almost entirely upon a brief account by Alessandro Salvio. In 1624-1625, Greco was in Paris, and his manuscripts from this visit show the continuing refinement of his game. By 1623, he was in London, where his manuscripts begin to include longer games. He may have visited Paris in 1622, as most histories claim, but the evidence is thin.
1621 finds him in Nancy, France where he dedicated a manuscript to the Duke of Lorraine. There are four Roman manuscripts, two of uncertain date, but the other two clearly dated to February 1620. These manuscripts offer the most definite facts about his life. In 1619 in Rome, Greco started keeping a notebook of tactics and games, and he took up the custom of giving copies of his manuscripts to his wealthy patrons. Gioachino Greco, also known as Il Calabrese, was born around 1600 in Celico, Italy near Cosenza in Calabria.
