Antonio Pucci (c. 1310 – 1388) was a Florentine bellfounder, self-taught as a versifier, who wrote his collection, ''Libro di varie storie'' ("Book of Various Tales"), using a popular dialect for a popular audience. In his ''Centiloquio'' he set out in terzinas ninety-one canto's worth of chronicle from Giovanni Villani's ''Cronaca.'' In ''Le proprietà di Mercato Vecchio'' he praised, again in terzinas, the incomparable street life of Florence's crowded market piazza. In poems he could blame or praise women with equal force, a favorite medieval trope. He composed ''cantari'' in the eight-line stanzas called ''ottava rima,'' telling the subjects of courtly romance in a fast-paced narrative, with an undertone of subversive populist skepticism that undercut the very conventions that the stories embraced, full of vivid contemporary color and pious sentiment, and perhaps he declaimed them in the public squares: ''La Reina d'Oriente'', ''Gismirante'', ''Apollonio di Tiro,'' ''Brito di Brettagna'', ''Madonna Lionessa.'' ==References== *''Libro di varie storie di Antonio Pucci'', edited by Alberto Varvaro, Palermo, 1957 (First modern edition). * P.
