Zanobi Buondelmonti
Zanobi is a masculine Italian given name. Origins From the name Greek ''Zenobios'', derived from ''Zeus'' (the God Zeus) and ''bios'' (life), the name can be translated as ''he who takes life from Zeus''. The name is an evolution of Zenobio, which seems to have disappeared in Italy. The name Zanobi is still very popular in Tuscany, in particular in Florence, because of Saint Zenobius of Florence ( it, San Zanobi), who is venerated as the first Bishop of Florence. His feast day is celebrated on May 25.

Greek Language
Greek ( el, label=Modern Greek, Ελληνικά, Elliniká, ; grc, Ἑλληνική, Hellēnikḗ) is an independent branch of the Indo-European family of languages, native to Greece, Cyprus, southern Italy (Calabria and Salento), southern Albania, and other regions of the Balkans, the Black Sea coast, Asia Minor, and the Eastern Mediterranean. It has the longest documented history of any Indo-European language, spanning at least 3,400 years of written records. Its writing system is the Greek alphabet, which has been used for approximately 2,800 years; previously, Greek was recorded in writing systems such as Linear B and the Cypriot syllabary. The alphabet arose from the Phoenician script and was in turn the basis of the Latin, Cyrillic, Armenian, Coptic, Gothic, and many other writing systems. The Greek language holds a very important place in the history of the Western world. Beginning with the epics of Homer, ancient Greek literature includes many works of lasting impo ...

Giovanni Antonio Sogliani
Giovanni Antonio Sogliani (1492 – 17 July 1544) was an Italian painter of the Renaissance, active mainly in Florence. Life and Work Giorgio Vasari in his ''Vite'', the main source for Sogliani's biography, claimed that the painter had apprenticed with Lorenzo di Credi for two decades. While this length of time is impossible, Sogliani is documented as Credi's pupil for at least part of the 1510s and he was the executor of Lorenzo's will in 1531. Sogliani's earliest works, such as the tondo of the ''Madonna and Child with Two Angles'' at the Pinacoteca Capitolina in Rome, are stylistically very close to Lorenzo's. Sogliani later entered some sort of partnership with Fra Bartolomeo's workshop at San Marco, monogramming his ''Annunciation'' at Santa Maria degli Innocenti, Florence, with Fra Bartolomeo and Albertinelli's workshop monogram "orate pro pictor" ("pray for the painter"). On his own, Sogliani completed, among other works, the ''Martyrdom of Saint Acacius'' (1521) fo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Discourses On Livy
The ''Discourses on Livy'' ( it, Discorsi sopra la prima deca di Tito Livio, ) is a work of political history and philosophy written in the early 16th century (c. 1517) by the Italian writer and political theorist Niccolò Machiavelli, best known as the author of ''The Prince''. The ''Discourses'' were published posthumously with papal privilege in 1531. The title identifies the work's subject as the first ten books of Livy's ''Ab urbe condita'', which relate the expansion of Rome through the end of the Third Samnite War in 293 BC, although Machiavelli discusses what can be learned from many other eras including contemporary politics. Machiavelli saw history in general as a way to learn useful lessons from the past for the present, and also as a type of analysis which could be built upon, as long as each generation did not forget the works of the past. Machiavelli frequently describes Romans and other ancient peoples as superior models for his contemporaries, but he also describes ...

Niccolò Machiavelli
Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli ( , , ; 3 May 1469 – 21 June 1527), occasionally rendered in English as Nicholas Machiavel ( , ; see below), was an Italian diplomat, author, philosopher and historian who lived during the Renaissance. He is best known for his political treatise ''The Prince'' (''Il Principe''), written in about 1513 but not published until 1532. He has often been called the father of modern political philosophy and political science. For many years he served as a senior official in the Florentine Republic with responsibilities in diplomatic and military affairs. He wrote comedies, carnival songs, and poetry. His personal correspondence is also important to historians and scholars of Italian correspondence. He worked as secretary to the Second Chancery of the Republic of Florence from 1498 to 1512, when the Medici were out of power. After his death Machiavelli's name came to evoke unscrupulous acts of the sort he advised most famously in his work, ''T ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Fra Angelico
Fra Angelico (born Guido di Pietro; February 18, 1455) was an Italian painter of the Early Renaissance, described by Vasari in his '' Lives of the Artists'' as having "a rare and perfect talent".Giorgio Vasari, ''Lives of the Artists''. Penguin Classics, 1965. He earned his reputation primarily for the series of frescoes he made for his own friary, San Marco, in Florence. He was known to contemporaries as Fra Giovanni da Fiesole (Brother John of Fiesole) and Fra Giovanni Angelico (Angelic Brother John). In modern Italian he is called ''Beato Angelico'' (Blessed Angelic One); the common English name Fra Angelico means the "Angelic friar". In 1982, Pope John Paul II proclaimed him "blessed" in recognition of the holiness of his life, thereby making the title of "Blessed" official. Fiesole is sometimes misinterpreted as being part of his formal name, but it was merely the name of the town where he took his vows as a Dominican friar, and was used by contemporaries to distingu ...
