Lapo da Castiglionchio
Lapo da Castiglionchio the Elder (c. 1316 – 1381) was born in Rome. He was a correspondent and friend of Petrarch from 1350. A Tuscan noble of reduced fortune, Lapo da Castiglionchio the Elder was a leader in the events before the Revolt of the Ciompi in Florence in 1378.[1]
His descendant, Lapo da Castiglionchio the Younger (c. 1405 – 1438), a pupil of the humanist Francesco Filelfo, wrote the scurrilous deadpan satiric dialogue on the papal curia, De curiae commodis (1438), "On the benefits of the Curia".[2]
