Giambattista Lolli

Giambattista Lolli (* 1698 in Nonantola, † June 4, 1769 ) was an Italian chess player.

Together with Ercole del Rio and Domenico Lorenzo Ponziani, which also came from the area around Modena, he was one of the most important chess theorist of his time. His fame is based on the 1763 published in Bologna factory Osservazioni teorico - Pratiche sopra il giuoco degli scacchi ( German: Theoretical and practical considerations about the game of chess ). It contains analyzes of openings, especially the Italian game.
