An Italian poet; born at Bibbiena, Aug. 4, 1470; died Nov. 9, 1520. For many years secretary to Cardinal Giovanni de'Medici, in whose election as Pope Leo X. he is said to have had a considerable share, he was appointed treasurer, and soon after raised to the dignity of cardinal. In this dignity he became an ardent promoter of art and science. His comedy "Calandria" is probably the earliest in Italian literature.
