Lorenzo Franciosini di Castelfiorentino (c. 1600 in Castelfiorentino – after 1645) was an Italian Hispanist, translator, lexicographer and grammarian.
He wrote an important Vocabolario italiano, e spagnolo (Italian–Spanish Dictionary; Rome, 1620), a Grammatica spagnuola ed italiana (Italian–Spanish Grammar; Venice, 1624), and some works in Latin: De particulis Italicae orationis […] (Florence, 1637), Fax linguae Italicae (Florence, 1638); Compendium facis linguae Italicae (1667).
He is author of the Rodamontate o bravate spagnole (Venice, 1627), the Dialoghi piacevoli (Venice, 1626),[1] and of an important translation of Don Quixote, the first one in Italian: L'ingegnoso cittadino Don Chisciotte della Mancia (Venice, 1622, 1st part; 1625, 2nd part, 1625). "Navarrete says it is too much given to paraphrase, and it certainly takes liberties, but it is on the whole a fairly close translation. The verse is given in the original Spanish."[2][3]

A translation into Italian was not published until this edition, twelve years later. The first part was dedicated to Ferdinando II de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany, while the second part, published three years later, was dedicated to Ferdinando Seracinelli. In the second part, the verse is also translated into Italian by Alessandro Adimari.
