	Carpeaux - Ugolino
		Ugolino dell Gheradesca, whose story is told in Canto 33 of Dante's Inferno, was an Italian nobleman in the Guelph party who was made podesta of Pisa in 1284.
		In a conspiracy contrived by the Ghibelline Archbishop Ruggeri, Ugolino was accused of having betrayed his town by being negligent in battle.
		The Ugolino group was acquired for the Metropolitan Museum of Art on the centenary of its first exhibition (in 1967).

	Rodin works
		In the 'Divine Comedy', Dante meets Ugolino in the lowest region of Hell, gnawing the skull of his former friend, then fiend Ubaldini: because both men were guilty of treachery, they were condemned to eternal punishment in the ninth Circle of Hell, reserved for traitors.
		The painting 'Ugolino' (1806) by Johann Heinrich Fussli (1741-1825), now in the Kunsthaus Zürich, proves that at least Rodin was not the only artist recurring to the Pietà concept for a portrait of the starving Count.
		Rodin himself was so convinced of his creation, that he detached the head of one of the sons, and enlarged it seperately in different media; this 'Head of Sorrow' was used for Paolo in 'Fugit Amor'; it also was exhibited as an indepent sculpture and carved in marble.

		In 1295 he was chosen Bishop of Abruzzi (Teramo) under Celestine V, but before his consecration the pope had resigned and Boniface VIII who suspected Ugolino as belonging to the Zelanti annulled the appointment (see Bull "In Supremae Dignitatis Specula" in "Bullarium Francis", IV, 376.
		Most scholars are now agreed on fixing upon Ugolino as the author of the "Fioretti" or "Little Flowers of St. Francis" in their original form.

	Ugolino della Gherardesca (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		For this reason Ugolino is known as the "Cannibal" Count and is often depicted biting his own fingers ("eating of his own flesh", a reference to his horrible sin) in consternation, as in the sculpture The Gates of Hell by Auguste Rodin, Ugolino and his Sons by Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux and other artwork.
		Ugolino appears trapped beneath the ice of the Ninth ring in the Inferno as both a damned soul and a punishing demon who gnaws vengefully at the skull of the evil Ruggieri.
		Ugolino also had few remaining teeth and is believed to have been in his 70s or 80s when he was imprisoned, making it further unlikely that he could have outlived and eaten his descendants in captivity, as the cannibalism account requires.

	Ugolino Golf Course - Tuscan golfing at Ugolino
		Ugolino was founded on the Via Chiantigiana in 1933 and was designed by British architects Blandford and Gannon who had also designed the course at Monza near Milan.
		The course they drew was par 69 but was considered difficult, owing to the ups and downs, the many trees and the small greens.
		The location of the course is outstanding, even by the standards of more recent Tuscan golf courses, and contributes enormously to the pleasure of playing here.

		Ugolino and His Sons was completed in plaster in 1861, the last year of his residence at the French Academy in Rome.
		Upon his return to France, Ugolino was cast in bronze at the order of the French Ministry of Fine Arts and exhibited in the Paris Salon of 1863.

	GradeSaver: ClassicNote: Divine Comedy-I: Inferno Study Guide
		Ugolino della Gherardesca was a Pisan Ghibelline who negotiated with the powerful Guelphs of Lucca and Florence and ceded them three castles.
		Ugolino was forced out of the office of chief magistrate of Pisa in 1288, and returned to Pisa at the invitation of the Archbishop Ruggieri, who betrayed and imprisoned him, along with his sons Gaddo and Uguiccione, and his grandsons Anselmo and Nino (nicknamed Brigata).
		Of course it is possible that Ugolino was simply too weak to mourn anymore, and that he collapsed into the lethargy which ended in his own death.

		Most scholars are now agreed on fixing upon Ugolino as the author of the "Fioretti" or "Little Flowers of St. Francis" in their original form.
		That Ugolino was the principal compiler of the "Actus" seems certain; how far he may be considered the sole author of the "Fioretti" of the primitive "Actus Fioretti" is not so clear.

	Poor Clares (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Ugolino writes that many women have renounced the world and desired to establish monasteries where they would live in total poverty with no possessions except their houses.
		The pope decided that Ugolino should accept these estates in the name of the Church and that the houses established thereon should be immediately subject to the pope.
		This was Ugolino's intention in drawing up the rule, and it is confirmed by a letter of Innocent IV to Agnes of Bohemia, in which he explains the meaning of the words in question (Sbarales, I, p.

	Ugolino (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		After being made a prisoner during the 13th century wars between Italian cities, and convicted of treason, Ugolino della Gherardesca was imprisoned in February 1289 in the Tower of Hunger in Pisa, along with his two sons and two grandsons.
		Ugolino, the last survivor, was condemned to Hell after watching his children die and eating their flesh.
		Inspired by the Laocoon in the Vatican Museum, Rodin represented Ugolino seated, biting his hands, his feet flexed one over the other, while his dying children dragged themselves behind him (1860, bronze, Musée d'Orsay, Paris).

	Conte Ugolino - The Cannibal of Pisa and the fall of the Pisa Naval Power in 14th Century Tuscany
		In history the story of the Count Ugolino is directly connected to the fall of the Pisa naval strength in the 14th century, when the fleet was at its height and it was present in all Mediterranean ports from Provence to the richest Palestinian towns.
		At that time, Count Ugolino, who was already 70, was at the head of 10 battle galleys posted at the mouth of the Arno river to prevent Genoa's attack on Pisa.
		Ugolino, to avoid distressing his children refrains from express his pain and withdraws into himself.

	Ugolino, Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux (1862) \| \| Guardian Unlimited Arts
		In July 1288, the duplicitous Pisan Archbishop Ruggieri imprisoned Ugolino, himself a double-dealing politician, with his two sons and two (or three) grandsons in a tower in Pisa, known afterwards as Hunger; they probably died in March 1289.
		Carpeaux has illustrated the moment when the boys see Ugolino chew his hands in rage and believe it is from hunger, the moment when they plead that he eat them - the moment when they put this fatal possibility in his mind.
		As well as the Medici tombs, Ugolino's pose imitates one of the damned in Michelangelo's Last Judgment, not to mention the definitive image of the sublime in classical sculpture, the Laocoon group in the Vatican.

	Dante's Inferno - Circle 9 - Cantos 31-34
		Ugolino's story, the longest single speech by one of the damned, is Dante's final dramatic representation in the Inferno of humankind's capacity for evil and cruelty.
		Taking advantage of resurgent ghibelline fortunes in Tuscany, Ugolino connived with the Pisan ghibellines, led by the Archbishop Ruggieri degli Ubaldini; Ugolino agreed to ghibelline demands that his grandson Nino be driven from the city, an order that was carried out--with Ugolino purposefully absent from the city--in 1288.
		The traitor, however, was then himself betrayed: upon Ugolino's return to Pisa, Ruggieri incited the public against him (by cleverly exploiting Ugolino's previous "betrayal of the castles") and had the count--along with two sons (Gaddo and Uguiccione) and two grandsons (Anselmo and Brigata)--arrested and imprisoned.

		The Guelphs were routed, and Ugolino, along with two sons and two grandsons (nephews, in some versions of the story), were imprisoned in Gualandi Tower, one of the medieval towers overlooking Piazza dei Cavalieri, which is still the central Piazza of Pisa.
		Dante finds Ugolino gnawing on a skull, and Ugolino says that it is the skull of Ruggieri, the erstwhile friend who had betrayed and imprisoned him.
		Living members of Ugolino's family cooperated with the investigation in the hopes of removing the stigma of Dante's allegations from the family name, and now Professor Mallegni has announced that his findings exonerate the count.

		In line 23 Ugolino indicates that the tower in which they died was named after their ordeal "the tower of hunger" (rather than "of cannibalism"), and that Dante placed Ugolino in that part of the Inferno in which traitors (not cannibals) are punished.
		This is, precisely, of what Dante accuses Pisa in his invocation in the case of Ugolino and his sons, irrespective of whether the accusation that Ugolino betrayed the fortresses is based on fact, or only on hearsay.
		Thus, in the poem "Ugolino" there may be quite valuable information to support some of Crisafulli's claims; but since he did not bother to bring it to his readers' attention, I must ignore it.
