Fra Angelico

Fra Angelico 

Fra Angelico was born Guido di Pietro, at Vicchio, in the Tuscan province of Mugello, near Florence towards the end of the 14th century, of unknown but seemingly well-to-do parentage.
Still a young boy he was admitted at the convent of San Domenico in Fiesole, where Dominican friars were known for their rigid rules.
 He completed his novitiate in Cortona in 1408 and became a real Dominican monk in Fiesole about 1418 with the name of "Fra Giovanni da Fiesole", "The Angelic" is a laudatory term which was assigned to him at an early date.
