Biography
His nickname refers to a bread made with unsifted flour containing bran (crusca). Subsequent authors misspelled his nickname as Inferrigno, which would mean iron-like. Both seem to allude to his personality, that was described as "harsh and inflexible". Bastiano published a tract condemning the language used by Torquato Tasso. The Cruscans were focused on elevating the Tuscan Italian of Dante.
