An Italian poet; born in Pisa (?) or in Florence about 1300; died at Verona, about 1367. He seems to have led a life of political turmoil. He very early yearned to place his name beside Dante's; the result being a curious poem, "The World Described", a servile but not entirely contemptible imitation of the "Divine Comedy". He wrote also inferior stanzas and sonnets.
