Vincenzo da Filicaja

Vincenzo da Filicaja (30 December 1642 – 24 September 1707) was a poet and politician, citizen of Grand Duchy of Tuscany. His poetry was compared to that of Petrarch, and his association with the Accademia della Crusca gave him access to royal patronage. He served as governor of Volterra and Pisa, successively, and finally in the Tuscan Senate.
