Biography
[edit]In 1929 Bargellini founded, together with writers Carlo Betocchi and Nicola Lisi, the literary magazine Il Frontespizio. His own largely popularizing writing covered studies of the figurative arts, biographies of saints and poets, histories of places or events especially relating to Tuscany and Florence. Between 1945 and 1952 he published Pian dei Giullari, a twelve-volume history of Italian literature. He worked for much of his life as a teacher in Florence. Elected mayor of Florence in 1968, he became a Senator (1968–1972) and a Deputy (1972–1976) in the Italian Parliament.
