Placido Puccinelli
Padre Placido Puccinelli (1609–1685) was a
Cardinal Federico Borromeo. He died in the Badia Fiorentina
in Florence.
Puccinelli was interested in historical studies, but above all genealogy and prosopography, in which the abbey had a tradition. He modelled his style after that of the historian of Lucca, Francesco Maria Fiorentini, whom he befriended. Another scholarly friendship was with Pietro Puricelli. Like Puricelli he wrote on the history of the Humiliati.[1]
