Emanuele Tesauro (1592 – 1675) was an Italian philosopher, rhetorician, literary theorist, dramatist, Marinist poet, and historian.
Tesauro is remembered chiefly for his seminal work 'Il cannocchiale aristotelico" (The Aristotelian Telescope), the first and most important treatise on metaphor and conceit written in early modern Europe.
Tesauro's Cannocchiale aristotelico has been called "one of the most important statements of poetics in seventeenth-century Europe", and "a milestone in the history of aesthetics".
In Umberto Eco's The Island of the Day Before, Tesauro's theories are self-consciously taken up, through the character Padre Emanuele and his metaphor-machine.
