Tifi Odasi

Who was Tifi Odasi?

Michele di Bartolomeo degli Odasi, pen name Tifi Odasi, was an Italian poet and author of macaronic verse. Very little is known of his biography, apart that he was born and died at Padua.

Tifi Odasi is best known as the author of Macaronea, a burlesque poem mixing Latin and Italian dialects.

Some scholars conjecture that Tifi Odasi was the author of Nobile Vigoncae opus, another work in macaronic Latin. The attribution is not widely accepted, however.
