Special notePossibly identical with Alessio Piemontese, b. ca. 1471 (pseud.?), the author of Secreti del R. D. Alessio Piemontese. It has been widely accepted that Alessio was a pseudonym for Ruscelli, but there is some evidence (such as the disparity in their birthdates) that they are not the same person.
