Gregorio Correr

[2] Correr was created protonotary apostolic by Pope Eugenius IV, a relation.

[1] There he received the visit of another pupil of Vittorino, Iacopo da San Cassiano.

[6] He was nominated as bishop of Padua in 1459, but lost out to Pietro Barbo when Pope Pius II refused to accept the Venetian Senate's choice.

[8] Around 1428 he wrote a Latin tragedy, Progne, based on the story of Procne in Ovid, and the play Thyestes by Seneca the Younger.

[9] He wrote also seven satires as a pupil in Mantua, and poetry, as he mentioned in correspondence with Cecilia Gonzaga.
