LUIGI PULCI

'Luigi Pulci' (15 August 14321484) was an Italian poet most famous for his ''Morgante'', an epic story of a giant who is converted to Christianity and follows the knight Orlando, all written in a mock-heroic tone.
He was born in Florence; his patrons were the Medicis, especially Lorenzo Medici, who sent Pulci on diplomatic missions. Even so, sometime around 1470 Pulci needed more money and went into the service of Robert Sanseverino, a northern ''condottiere''.
His brother Luca (1431-1470) was also a writer. His works, all in the Italian language, include ''Pistole'', ''Driadeo d'amore'', and ''Ciriffo Calvaneo''.
