Life

He was the son of the notary Oliviero and employed in 1332 by della Scala of Verona as preceptor to the Court Scaligera. He was a poet as well as a humanist. He was a close friend of Petrarch, as well as a personal tutor to his son Giovanni in 1345. Petrarch communicated with him and he is mentioned in Petrarch's "sine nomine" in letter eleven asking for Petrarch's help in getting employed in the papal curia at Avignon. [Zacour, Norman P., "Petrarch's Book Without A Name," p. 73; translation of "Liber Sine Nomine", Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies, Toronto, Canada (1973); ISBN 0-88844-260-2]

He is famous for the epitaphs he wrote for Cangrande I della Scala and Mastino II della Scala. He gave all his possessions to St. Peter's Church in Zevio, San Fermo Friary, and to St. Peter's Church of Villafranca in his Will. The lineage of Cavalchini died at the end of 1400.
