ACCOLTI, BERNARDO (14651536) , Italian poet, born at Arezzo, was the son of Benedetto Accolti. Known in his own day as l' Unico Aretino, he acquired great
impromptu verse. He was listened to by large crowds, composed of the most learned men and the most distinguished prelates of the age. Among others, Cardinal
Bembo
record a testimony to his extraordinary talent. His high reputation with his contemporaries seems scarcely justified by the poems he published, though they give evidence of brilliant fancy . It is probable that he succeeded better in his ex-temporary 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 several times reprinted.End of Article: ACCOLTI, BERNARDO (14651536) If you wish, you can link directly to this article.
