Francesco Albergotti was born in 1304 from the
Albergotti, the biggest Guelph family in
Arezzo for the role they had in the political, religious and military life of the city. He started his studies at the
University of Perugia, first in
philosophy, then in
law, as a student of the famous
Baldo degli Ubaldi. He started a career as a lawyer in Arezzo, and in 1349 he moved to
Florence, where he gained considerable fame as a teacher, being named "
solidae veritatis doctor" (doctor of solid truths). He wrote comments to the
Digest and some books of the
Codex Theodosianus (in various manuscripts), and other different
consilia (published in 1563 in Venice). He died in Florence in 1376. == Works ==
