Giovanni Sercambi

Giovanni Sercambi (died 1424) was born in Lucca in 1347. He held many public offices in his city, became gonfaloniere of justice in 1400 and played a decisive role in Paolo Guinigi's rise to power, who became lord of Lucca the same year. From the end of the 1360s, he composed a chronicle of his city covering the years 1164 to 1424, preserved in illustrated manuscripts. He died in Lucca in 1424.
