Count Pieralvise Serego Alighieri

Count Pieralvise Serego Alighieri is a descendant of the famed Italian poet Dante Alighieri. He made headlines for his refusal to attend a ceremonial apology in 2008 from the city of Florence, which acknowledged the wrongful banishment of Dante in 1302 due to his political views. Serego Alighieri critiqued the event, suggesting it lacked sincerity and was merely a publicity stunt.
