from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pietro Marcello , son of an Antonio, published a story of the Doges of Venice in 1502 .

Nothing certain is known about the life and career of this Pietro Marcello, in the second half of the 15th century several bearers of this name can be traced in Venetian sources . His main work De vitis principum et gestis Venetorum is heavily dependent on the work of Marcantonio Sabellico . It was reprinted several times and also translated into Italian, but was also received in the German-speaking area. In addition, individual handwritten speeches can be ascribed to him.
