Nonantola ,Italy –4 June 1769 ) was an Italian chess player. Lolli was one of the most important chess theoreticians of his time. He is most famous for his book "Osservazioni teorico-pratiche sopra il giuoco degli scacchi" (English: "Theoretical-practical views on the game of chess"), published 1763 inBologna . [cite book

It illustrates the Italian masters' style of uncompromising attack, which clearly differs from the rather more strategic considerations taken by, for example, the French chess player Philidor. In addition, the book contain listings of 100chess endgame s. One of these positions was used by Wilhelm Heinse in hisnovel "Anastasia und das Schachspiel" (English: "Anastasia and the game of chess"). [cite book
