In his satires he assails in acrid terms the hypocrisy prevailing in Tuscany in the last years of the Medici rule. In 1681 he failed to obtain the chair of rhetoric in the University of Pisa, partly because of the jealousy of other clerics and partly because of the acrimony constantly shown by him in his words and acts. In 1685 he went to Rome and enjoyed the favor of Queen Christina of Sweden, until her death in 1689. Pope Innocent XII then gave him a canonry, and appointed him to a chair of rhetoric in one of the institutions of the city of Rome. COLR1728FJKA. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers COLR1728FJKA
