Guccio Di Mannaia
Guccio di Mannaia (Malnaia; Malnaggia; Manaie; Mannaie) was an Italian goldsmith from Siena, Italy active from 1288 to 1322. He is best known for a 13th-century decorated gold-plated chalice which contains the first documented use of translucent enamels using the technique known as basse-taille. Biographical details Little is known about the life of Guccio di Mannaia, and very few works are attributed to him with certainty. He came from a family of Sienese goldsmiths, with his brother (Pino) as well as his three sons (Montigiano, Mannaia, and Jacopo) working in the same trade. He was influenced by Pace di Valentino who was the first Sienese goldsmith working for the papal court (under popes Nicholas III, Martin IV, Honorius IV, and Boniface VIII). In addition, he seems to have been familiar with northern European artworks, such as the Westminster retable in England and the miniatures in illuminated manuscripts of the Parisian Master Honoré, to which the human figures in his w ...

Giannino Di Guccio
John I (15 – 20 November 1316), called the Posthumous (, oc, Joan Ièr lo Postume), was King of France and Navarre, as the posthumous son and successor of Louis X, for the five days he lived in 1316. He is the youngest person to be king of France, the only one to have borne that title from birth, and the only one to hold the title for his entire life. His reign is the shortest of any undisputed French king. Although considered a king today, his status was not recognized until chroniclers and historians in later centuries began numbering John II, thereby acknowledging John I's brief reign. John reigned for five days under the regency of his uncle, Philip V of France, until his death on 20 November 1316. His death ended the three centuries of father-to-son succession to the French throne. The infant king was buried in the Basilica of Saint-Denis. He was succeeded by his uncle, Philip, whose contested legitimacy led to the re-affirmation of the Salic law, which excluded women ...

Mario Guccio
Machiavel, named after Niccolò Machiavelli, is a Belgian rock group formed in 1974 and still currently recording and touring today. The band's first few albums are typical of the progressive rock movement while the later albums were more in a new-wave rock direction. By mid 1970s, Machiavel had established themselves as one of the most popular Belgian groups. History The first years Machiavel were founded in 1974 by Roland De Greef (bass) and Marc Ysaÿe (drums and vocals) then playing with a group called Moby Dick and Jack Roskam (guitar) and Albert Letecheur (keyboard). They released their first eponymous album in 1976 and gained some attention with the song "Cheerlessness" displaying Marc's high pitch voice and Albert's heady keyboard line. Jack Roskam was soon replaced by Jean-Paul Devaux and Mario Guccio joined the group as lead vocalist and showman, due to his move out to Yugoslavia. The new formation released ''Jester'' in 1977. The next year saw the release of the alb ...

Gucio Czartoryski
August Franciszek Maria Anna Józef Kajetan Czartoryski (2 August 1858 – 8 April 1893) was a Polish Roman Catholic professed member of the Salesians of Don Bosco and a noble prince. He was born in Paris during his house's exile and came from a notable house; his constant frail health saw much of his childhood being shuttled to various health spas. Raphael Kalinowski tutored him; the prince turned to the priesthood instead of pursuing the aristocratic life. But his path into the Salesians was not set in stone for Don Bosco believed his frail health would become an impediment to his ecclesial studies. But Bosco allowed him to do his novitiate after Pope Leo XIII intervened. He was ordained in 1892 and settled as a pastor in Savona where he died from tuberculosis. His beatification process began in 1921 though formal introduction was not until 1941 after he became titled as a Servant of God; he was named as Venerable on 1 December 1978 and was beatified on 25 April 2004.
