Michele di Bartolomeo degli Odasi, pen name Tifi Odasi, was an Italian poet, the inventor of macaronic verse. Very little is known of his biography, apart that he was born and died at Padua. He is best known as the author of Macaronea, a burlesque poem mixing Latin and Italian dialects. It is one of the earliest examples - and the namesake - of macaronic verse. Tifi has also been conjectured to be the author of another work in macaronic Latin, Nobile Vigoncae opus, but that attribution is not widely accepted. Wikipedia [ - ]
