The tyrant held so many places, as we shall see, his prowess is everywhere, but Tommaso Parentucelli is like to be forgotten, for his glory is not written in sword-cuts or in any violated city, but in the forgotten pages of the humanists, the beautiful life of Vespasiano da Bisticci.
In the Duomo here, in Cappella di S. Tommaso, you may find his mother's grave, on which she is called Andreola dei Calandrini. His uncle, however, is called J.P. Parentucelli. In two Bulls of Felix V he is called Thomas de Calandrinis; cf. Mansi, xxxi. 190. Muratori, Rer. Ital. Scrip., III. ii. 107. Sed deverticulo fuimus fortasse loquaces: Carmine propositum jam repetamus iter.
Yet Tommaso Parentucelli was sprung of poor parent and even though they may have been nobili as Manetti tells us, De nobili Parentucellorum progenie, that certainly was of but little assistance to him in his youth.
