Aldus Manutius created cursive handwriting, he is italian.
What Aldus and others of his time invented (that their age called "cursive") is not what the present age calls "cursive." Aldus and other Italian Renaissance writers invented a style that they called "corsiva" ( = "cursive") but that we, today, call "Italic handwriting." (To learn more about Italic handwriting.
In the centuries after Aldus, people gradually tried to make Italic handwriting more and more decorative by joining more letters (changing some letter-shapes to make this possible) and adding loops and similar ornaments. Eventually, this produced the very different (and very difficult) kind of handwriting that we now call "cursive."
