15th Century Viterbese Chronicler
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Niccola della Tuccia or Nicholas of Tuccia (November 1, 1400 – 1472) was a 15th-century Viterbese chronicler and orator under Pope Nicholas V, Callixtus III, Pius II, and Paul II.[1][2] His surname suggests that he made a sacred vow of celibacy associated with the virtue of Tuccia and her gens. He is most known for writing the Cronaca di Viterbo that speaks on many events within Italy and beyond, including the Fall of Constantinople in 1453.[3]
