Ugolino della Gherardesca (c.1220-1289), Count of Donoratico, was an Italian nobleman, politician and naval commander. He was a leader of the Guelph, or pro-papal, faction in predominantly Ghibelline (pro-imperial) Pisa. His attempts, as chief magistrate, to consolidate his power in Pis, which was anti-Guelph, failed, and he fell victim to a conspiracy. He was arrested for treason and shut in a tower to starve to death with his sons and grandsons. He features predominantly in Dante's divine comedy.

Be Content in every Station. Fortune who no Diversion knows/ Like disappointment laughs to see,/ How variously she can her Gifts transpose,/ Sometimes to one, Sometimes to another free./ Be sure to enjoy her while she's pleas'd to stay./ But if for flight she does prepare,/ Don't you at parting drop a Tear,/ But hold your Virtue fast for that alone you may./ Fortune a Goddess is to fools alone,/ The wise are always Masters of their own.
