Placido Puccinelli

Placido Puccinelli

Padre Placido Puccinelli (Pescia, 1609 – Florence, Badia Fiorentina, 1685) was a Cassinese monk, a historian and scholar.

Educated at the abbey of S. Maria in Florence, he began his monastic career on 15 January 1626. He was interested in historical studies, but above all genealogy and prosopography, in which the abbey had a great tradition. He modelled his style after that of the historian of Lucca, Francesco Maria Fiorentini, whom he befriended. He frequented the then-young Ambrosian Library in Milan, founded by Cardinal Federico Borromeo. For the longest time, he was an intinerant travelling between the cities of northern Italy.
