Marco Lombardo

Marco Lombardo was a Venetian nobleman, a man of wit, learning, and honor. However he is disdainful and choleric. He probably lived in the second half of the thirteen century and was widely anecdotal before Dante's creation of Divine Comedy.[1] He is mentioned in Purgatory XVI by Dante Alighieri to discuss on morality and corruption.[2]
