osimo de Aldana (1538-1601) was a captain of the thirds.

Origins
In the middle of the 20th century, Elias L. Rivers, based on then unpublished documents, determined that most likely both he and his brother Francesc were born in the kingdom of Naples children of the military Antonio de Aldana, confirmed in 2017 by Nievas Rojas in his article on Francesc, in which he speaks of two possible origins of his father, Guadalcanal and Alcàntara, which come into contradiction. In fact, due to the existence of different families with the same surname, the affiliation of both brothers has been debated for centuries: Gil Polo, in the final stanzas of the "Canto del Turia" (1564), mentions a Aldana among the Valencian poets of his time, to whomMaians (later followed by Ximeno ) identifies with Francesc, and assumes he was born in Valencia. Torres Amat shares this identification, but states that he was born in Tortosa, of the Tortosa Aldana family. Menéndez Pelayo the contradiction by saying that it was probably in Valencia de Alcántara, and still Rodríguez-Moñino would make of Alcantara , based solely on the weak argument of Don Marcelino ; that his uncle Bernat, who left him as heir, had a monk relative there.

Biography
He was nephew of the field master Bernardo de Aldana and brother of the poet Francisco de Aldana ; like his brother, he had a reputation for bravery and was also a poet, though of lesser reputation. After the death of Francisco in Morocco in the battle of Alcazarquivir of 1577, it compiled what it could find of his work it published and it in two parts.
