Vacca (grammarian)
Vacca was a 6th-century grammarian who studied and commented on the works of Lucan. Little is known of Vacca other than that he wrote ''Vita Lucani'' (''Life of Lucan''), which is not to be confused with Suetonius' ''Vita Lucani''. Vacca's commentaries were used in the medieval study of Lucan. Though he is not named, evidence of Vacca's writing appears in the 10th-century works ''Commenta Bernensia'' and ''Adnotationes super Lucanum''. Vacca's ''Life of Lucan'' gives sole accounts of many of Lucan's lost works, as well as accounts of the feud between Lucan and Nero, which agrees with Tacitus' and contradicts Suetonius Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus (), commonly referred to as Suetonius ( ; c.

Vacca also known as Vaccaman, Mr. Vacca, Lil' Mocho or Devil The Rasta (born Alessandro Vacca on 21 October 1979) is an Italian rapper who lives in Kingston. Career Vacca was born in Cagliari but he grew up in Milan in the neighborhood of Quarto Oggiaro. The press coverage, mostly in Italian, presents him as a "redeemed" person, who has fought against drug addiction, poverty, and degradation for the sake of his newly created family. From 2001 to 2003, Vacca played with a group called ''Azhilo Nitro''. After this first experience he published the EP ''Mr. Cartoon'', in 2003. Deeply influenced by Jamaican music, he combined rap and reggae in his solo debut album, titled ''VH'', published in May 2004.

Geography The lake lies in a glacial basin at the southern end of the Adamello mountain range, surrounded by peaks exceeding 2,500 meters. The lake has no real tributaries: it's supplied by the summer rainfall that falls in the drainage basin and by the melting of the snow covers the slopes of the surrounding mountains in the winter period between April and June.
