ACCOLTI, BERNARDO. - Poet, better known by the nickname of the Unique Aretine, b. at Arezzo on 11 Sept. 1458 and d. at Rome on 1 March 1535. He formed close ties with the courts of Mantua and Urbino, and enjoyed the favors of Leo X and Clement VII. His lyric poetry, wavering between pure Petrarchism and pre-Seicento preciousness, was studied excellently by D'Ancona.

Fresher is his comedy Virginia, on a Boccaccian plot and resolved in the tone of a sacred representation.

His writings: Opera nova del preclarissimo messer B. aretino, were published at Florence, perhaps in 1513, and reprinted at Venice in 1519.
