Duccio de Luca (1462 - 1520) was a member of the Florentine nobility, who eventually became a trader, ferrying merchandise between Rome and other cities.
Biography
Early life
As of 1476, Duccio was engaged to Claudia Auditore da Firenze.[1] However, he was having affairs with up to six other women at the same time,[2] claiming that his father had told him he could "do much better than an Auditore."[1]
After Claudia was informed of this by other girls, her brother Ezio met with Duccio outside the Duomo. There, Ezio beat him up as payback, and warned Duccio to stay away from Claudia.[1]
Life as a trader
In 1506, Duccio visited Rome on business, where he learned that Claudia had become the Madame of the Rosa in Fiore, Rome's most popular brothel. He met with Ezio again, and provoked him into a fistfight, despite Ezio initially refusing due to their age.[3]
Though aided by several henchmen, Duccio was unable to best Ezio. Grabbing Duccio by the collar, Ezio then demanded the location of the three Leonardo da Vinci paintings that Duccio had acquired. The cowed merchant admitted that one was on his ship, while the other two had already been sold.[3]
Upon insulting Claudia further, Duccio was ultimately knocked unconscious by Ezio, and left on the docks.[3]
Later life
In 1511, Duccio wound up in Constantinople, the capital of the Ottoman Empire, where he encountered a Venetian woman named Sofia Sartor. He attempted to flirt with her, claiming that it was fate that had brought them together, though she was simply disgusted by him.[2]
Duccio was soon interrupted by Ezio, who had become close to Sofia. Terrified upon recognizing his old enemy, Duccio fled, crying to Sofia to run from the "devil."[2]
In later life, Duccio's business failed, and he was left penniless. He barely survived, only just managing to scrape a living, and later died due to rabies, which he likely received from a dog bite.[3]
