Iacopo Bussolari

Iacopo Bussolari (1312–1380) was an Augustinian hermit friar born in Pavia. In 1356 he led a popular rising that drove the Beccaria family from the city, commanded the defence against Galeazzo II Visconti's siege, and set up a republican regime in Pavia.

When the Visconti took the city in 1359 he was imprisoned. Freed in 1373, he made his way to Ischia, where his brother was bishop, and died there in 1380.
