In regard to these general questions, the teaching of Gasparino Barzizza has a considerable importance. First, it is a way into the Italian schools and universities of the period. Early in his career he was a member of the arts faculty in the University of Pavia, a master of grammar in an elementary school in Bergamo, and then a private tutor in Venice. Between 1407 and 1421 he stayed in Padua, where he lectured in the University as well as running a private grammar school, and it was in Padua that his teaching became fully developed and influential. From 1421 until his death in 1430 he taught in Milan and Pavia, and for a short time in Bologna. He takes us, as it were, through a good cross section of the educational system in northern Italy.
