Franco Sacchetti

Franco Sacchetti (c. 1332–1400), born in 1332 in Ragusa or in Florence into a Florentine family of magnates, devoted himself first to trade, then to public affairs: he was prior of Florence in 1383, podestà of several towns of Tuscany and Romagna, and captain of the province of Romagna in 1398. He married three times. He also composed poems and a commentary on the Gospels. He died in San Miniato in August 1400, probably of the plague.
