Giovanni Veneroni (1642-1708) was a French linguist, lexicographer, and grammarian. It is believed that he was a native of Verdun and later Italianized his name. He went to Paris, where he pretended to be from Florence, and had a great success as teacher of Italian and became secretary and interpreter of the King. He published an Italian-French dictionary with the title Dictionnaire italien et françois (1681), and a Grammaire italienne (1710), which were long time considered classical reference works and went through numerous editions. Vancil, p. 242.
