Bernardo Accolti
Author
1465 – 1536
Who was Bernardo Accolti?
Bernardo Accolti was an Italian poet.
He was born at Arezzo, the son of Benedetto Accolti.
Known in his own day as l'Unico Aretino, he acquired great fame as a reciter of impromptu verse. He was listened to by large crowds, composed of the most learned men and the most distinguished prelates of the age.
It is probable that he succeeded better in his extemporaneous productions than in those which were the fruit of deliberation. His works, under the title Virginia, Comedia, Capitoli e Strambotti di Messer Bernardo Accolti Aretino, were published at Florence in 1513, and have been reprinted several times.
