Antonio Pucci (poet)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Antonio Pucci (* around 1310 in Florence ; † 1388 ibid) was a Florentine poet .

Antonio Pucci was a bell founder and continued his self-taught education . He wrote his collection Libro di Varie storie ("Book of Various Stories") using a popular dialect for an audience of the common people. In his Centiloquio he arranged ninety-one chants from Giovanni Villani's Cronica in terzines . In Le proprietà di Mercato Vecchio , again in Terzinen, he praised the incomparable street life of the crowded Florentine market square. In his poems he could reprimand or reprimand women with equal strength, a popular trope of the Middle Ages. He wrote Cantari in eight- punching , the ottava rima were called. They portray the themes of the courtly novel in a fast-paced manner with an undertone of subversive popular skepticism that undermined the very conventions that encompassed the stories, full of clear contemporary color and pious feeling. Possibly he declaimed them in public places: La Reina d'Oriente , Gismirante , Apollonio di Tiro, Brito di Brettagna , Madonna Lionessa.
