Medieval Italian mathematician (9)

I believe the answer is:

fibonacci

(Other definitions for fibonacci that I've seen before include "Italian mathematician who gave name to sequence" , "Thirteenth century Italian mathematician associated with series one, one, two, three, five, eight etc" , "Maths whiz" , "Mathematician giving name to a series" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
