Biography
Biography
He was a humanist and humanities teacher to Pope Leo X, Francesco Pitti, and Crinitus. He was also given patronage by Girolamo Savonarola and the Piagnoni. He died in Florence. His major poetical work, Flametta, was dedicated to Cosimo I de' Medici (1463) and then rededicated to Lorenzo de' Medici (1464). His Paradisus (1468–1469) was written in memory of Cosimo. Between 1469 and 1480, he composed an epic on Charlemagne entitled De gestis Magni Caroli, better known as Carlias. After a religious conversion, he dedicated his Carmen de christiana religione ac vitae monasticae felicitate (1491) to Savonarola and rejected secular poetry. Ugolino's son, Michele di Vieri, known for his letters, predeceased his father at the age of eighteen.
