  Poliziano - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Poliziano did not have the good looks that could survive him in Italy, yet his voice was rich and capable of fine modulation; his eloquence, ease of utterance and copious stream of erudition were incomparable.
Poliziano covered nearly the whole ground of classical literature during the years of his professorship, and published the notes of his courses upon Ovid, Suetonius, Statius, Pliny the Younger, and Quintilian.
Poliziano was skilled as a scholar, as a professor, as a critic, and as a Latin poet at an age when the classics were still studied with the passion of assimilative curiosity, and not with the scientific industry of a later period.

 Angelo Poliziano Biography / Biography of Angelo Poliziano Biography
Angelo Poliziano was born Angelo Ambrogini on July 14, 1454, at Montepulciano, Tuscany, the son of a lawyer.
Poliziano's dedication to Lorenzo de' Medici of a partial translation of the Iliad marked the beginning of a lifelong friendship with the Medici ruler, and for some time he headed Lorenzo's chancellery and was tutor to his two sons.
Poliziano's activities as a translator of Greek and Roman literature were remarkable (Callimachus, Epictetus, Galen, Hippocrates, and Moschus), and his editorial attempts--such as the Pandects--remain respectable examples of early textual criticism.

Poliziano covered nearly the whole ground of classical literature during the years of his professorship, and published the notes of his courses upon Ovid, Suetonius, Statius, the younger Pliny, Quintilian, and the writers of Augustan histories.
Poliziano was great as a scholar, as a professor, as a critic, and as a Latin poet at an age when the classics were still studied with the passion of assimilative curiosity, and not with the scientific industry of a later period.
He was the representative hero of that age of scholarship in which students drew their ideal of life from antiquity and fondly dreamed that they might so restore the past as to compete with the classics in production and bequeath a golden age of resuscitated paganism to the modern world.

While Poliziano does not speak of his own duo crimina until later in this letter, certain parallels of verbal character and in terms of the mediating circumstances behind the composition of the two letters are immediately worthy of note.
I aim to show that Poliziano's appeals to Lorenzo invoke Ovid's appeals to Augustus: each poet represents his own situation as abject and recognizes that being restored home requires the direct intervention of a merciful patron towards his contrite panegyrist.
I show that Poliziano borrows closely from Ovid's exile poetry, for example, in threatening suicide to alleviate the pain of separation from homeland, in attacking his Florentine detractors in absentia, and in promising to sing the praises of his patron once restored home.

As it is, we must reckon him as decidedly the foremost and indubitably the most highly gifted among the Italian poets who obeyed Lorenzo de' Medici's demand for a resuscitation of the vulgar literature.
Yet what Poliziano produced, impelled by a courtly wish to satisfy his patron's whim, proves his own immeasurable superiority as an artist.

 Canadian Journal of History: From Poliziano to Machiavelli: Florentine Humanism in the High Renaissance
The volume is an in-depth analysis of Florentine humanism at the turn of the sixteenth century in the years between Poliziano's death (1494) and Machiavelli's maturity (1520s).
The second chapter, "The Prison of Antiquity," maps the changes of the early 1490s in the intellectual climate of the city, pointing to the new dispensation announced by Savonarola that was attracting the sympathies of philosophers such as Pico della Mirandola and politicians such as Lorenzo de' Medici.
The third chapter, "The Angel from Heaven," focuses on the Miscellanea and charts Poliziano's growing cultural isolation, showing how his approach to the studia humanitatis was indicative not only of his singularity, but also of his cultural/intellectual solitude.

To each his own, but Caffe Poliziano did not strike me as the kind of place where Italian families gather for Sunday lunch.
If you do take the walk up thru the town, on the right-hand side, across from a butcher shop, there is a small ice cream shop that had the best gelato we tasted during our entire trip.
I agree that Caffe Poliziano does not seem like a typical gathering place for Tuscan families, but it is so cool!
