Carlo Marsuppini

Carlo Marsuppini (* 1398 in Genoa, † 1453 in Florence ) was an Italian humanist and statesman.

Marsuppini grew up in Florence and there had close contact with the Medici family. 1444 he followed Leonardo Bruni as Chancellor of the Republic of Florence. He was a man of great culture, author of letters and some poems. Pope Nicholas V commissioned him in 1452, the Iliad to translate into Latin. Marsuppini, however, died without having completed much of it. The sculptor Desiderio da Settignano created his tomb in Santa Croce in Florence.
