1566 - Born on the 26th of November in Pistoia, Italy. He was an Italian poet.
- At Rome he entered the service of Cardinal Maffeo Barberini, with whom he afterwards went to France.
- After the death of Clement VIII he returned to his own country; and when his patron Barberini was elected pope, under the name of Urban VIII, Bracciolini repaired to Rome and was made secretary to the pope's brother, Cardinal Antonio.
- He had also the honor conferred on him of taking a surname from the arms of the Barberini family, which were bees; whence he was afterwards known by the name of Bracciolini dell Api.
1618 - There is scarcely any species of poetry, epic, dramatic, pastoral, lyric or burlesque, which Bracciolini did not attempt; but he is principally noted for his mock-heroic poem Lo Scherno degli Dei, similar but confessedly inferior to the contemporary work of Alessandro Tassoni, Secchia Rapita.
1645 - He died on the 31st of August in Italy.
