  Cola di Rienzo
His father's Christian name was shortened to Rienzo, and his own name, Nicola, to Cola; hence the Cola di Rienzo by which he is generally known.
He returned to Rome as a student at the age of 20, and in 1343 he was sent by the city's government to Pope Clement VI in Avignon to plead the case of the Roman popular party, which had just gained ascendancy.
After declaring reforms of the tax, judicial, and political structure of Rome, Cola conceived the grandiose idea of reestablishing Rome as the capital of a "sacred Italy," an Italian brotherhood whose mission would be to spread peace and justice to the world.

His father's Christian name was shortened to Rienzo, and his own, Nicholas, to Cola; hence the Cola di Rienzi, or Rienzo, by which he is generally known.
He became a notary and a person of some importance in the city, and was sent in 1343 on a public errand to Pope Clement VI.
In December 1352 Clement died, and his successor, Innocent VI., anxious to strike a blow at the baronial rulers of Rome, and seeing in the former tribune an excellent tool for this purpose, pardoned and released his prisoner.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Cola di Rienzi
Cola then by his public discourses and private conversations prepared the people; a conspiracy was formed, and on 19 May, 1347, he summoned the populace to assemble the following day in the Campidoglio.
Cola attempted to flee, but was recognized and slain, and his corpse dragged through the streets of the city.
Cola represented, one might say, the death agony of the Guelph (papal-national-democratic) idea and the rise of the classical (imperial and æsthetic) idea of the Renaissance.

 Amanda Collins: Greater than Emperor, University of Michigan Press   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
At the forefront of the process stood the idiosyncratic and astonishing young notary Cola di Rienzo.
Cola was eventually resurrected as a hero of nineteenth-century nationalism, leaving the realities of Trecento Rome far behind.
Bringing depth and substance to Cola's backdrop, Trecento Rome and the economic and spiritual ambitions of its citizen body, Collins provides information crucial to understanding the longer-term economic and political drive to civic autonomy in Rome before 1400.

On May 20, 1347, Cola di Rienzo overthrew without violence the turbulent rule of Rome's barons and the absentee popes.
A man of modest origins, Cola gained a reputation as a talented professional with an unparalleled knowledge of Rome's classical remains.
At the height of Cola's rule, a conspiracy of pope and barons forced him to flee the city and live for years as a fugitive until he was betrayed and taken to Avignon to stand trial as a heretic.

 Moments in History #21 Cola di Rienzo
This man whose full name, Niccola di Rienzo Gabrini, has come down to us through history as first, Cola di Rienzo, and later made even shorter to simply, Rienzi, was a revolutionary in an age when revolutionaries weren’t the most popular characters in Italian politics.
Autocracy was the more accepted form of government and its benefits to the populace and to the Roman Catholic Church apparently outweighed any of its negatives.
In May, 1347 Rienzo had enough support to publicly proclaim that the Republic had been restored.
