NICCOLO, CALLED TRIBOLO
LIFE OF NICCOLO, CALLED TRIBOLO
SCULPTOR AND ARCHITECT
Raffaello the carpenter, surnamed Il Riccio de' Pericoli, who lived
near the Canto a Monteloro in Florence, had born to him in the year
1500, as he used to tell me himself, a male child, whom he was pleased
to call at baptism, like his own father, Niccolo; and having perceived
that the boy had a quick and ready intelligence and a lofty spirit, he
determined, although he was but a poor artisan, that he should begin
straightway by learning to read and write well and cast accounts.
Sending him to school, therefore, it came about, since the child was
very vivacious and so high-spirited in his every action, that he was
always cramped for room and was a very devil both among the other boys
at school and everywhere else, always teasing and tormenting both
himself and others, that he lost his own name of Niccolo and acquired
that of Tribolo[2] to such purpose, that he was called that ever
afterwards by everyone.
