Uguccione was born at Casteldelci, in the Marche.
He came to prominence in the late 13th century as captain for the Aretine army, when he successfully captured Cesena. After a failed attempt to conquer Forlì for himself (1297)
Of Ghibelline association, in 1311-1312 he was imperial vicar in Genoa for Henry VII, who came to Pisa in 1312. After the latter's death in 1313, Uguccione was made chief magistrate ("podestà"), captain of the people, and virtual lord of that city.
He conquered Lucca in 1314 with the help of his protege Castruccio Castracane. On August 29, 1315, he delivered the Guelfs of Florence and their associates from Naples their worst defeat since 1260 in the battle of Montecatini in the Val di Nievole.
In 1316 the Pisane and the Lucchesi under his former protege Castruccio Castracane drove him out and he took refuge under Cangrande della Scala, who made Uguccione "podestà" of Vicenza.
He died during the siege of Padua on November 1, 1318.
