He was born in Florence; his patrons were the Medicis, especially Lorenzo Medici, who sent Pulci on diplomatic missions. Even so, sometime around 1470 Pulci needed more money and went into the service of Robert Sanseverino, a northern condottiere.

Pulci was a prolific writer. His works, all in the Italian language, include Pistole, Driadeo d'amore, and Ciriffo Calvaneo, in addition to the 28 cantos of Morgante.
