Luigi Pulci
Born at Florence, 1431. Died about 1487.
Pulci was of one of the noblest families in Florence, reported to be one of the Frankish stocks which remained in that city after the departure of Charlemagne:
Pulcia Gallorum soboles descendit in urbem,
Clara quidem bello, sacris nec inhospita Musis.
(Verino De illustrat. Cort. Flor. III. v. 118.)
