Bartolomeo Scala (1430–1497) was an Italian politician, author and historian. Born in Colle Val d'Elsa, he became a protégé of Cosimo and Piero de' Medici, being appointed at the highest positions in the Florentine Republic (Chancellor, Secretary, Gonfaloniere and Priore).
He wrote an unfinished History of Florence,[1] as well as various essays and dialogues.[2][3] He was a member of the Accademia Neoplatonica. Scala died in 1497, and was buried in a chapel of Annunziata.
