He was born to a noble family of Venice, and became a member of the Maggior Consiglio in 1504. He studied classical literature and languages in Venice and Padua. In Venice, he worked with the publishing house (Aldina or Aldine Press) and academy established by Manuzio, but for a few decades after 1515, run by Andrea Torresano. Navagero was much in demand for writing elegies of famous individuals, including Caterina Cornaro, Marcantonio Coccio Sabellico, Doge Leonardo Loredan, and Giovanni Jacopo Trivulzio. He aided the Aldine press in the publication of codicils of classic authors such as Cicero, Ovid, Virgil, Quintilian, and Lucretius. He was buried in San Martino in Murano.[2]
