Historical and Literary Analyses

Sassolo da Prato included a description of Vittorino in a letter that he sent in 1443–1444 to his friend, the humanist Leonardo Dati in Florence. This vita is the first of the vitae of Vittorino da Feltre, and it is the most contemporary: Vittorino was living and teaching when Sassolo wrote it. Because of this closeness, it is the closest to the historical memory of Vittorino. All other vitae were written after his death.
