Guido Guinizelli

Guido Guinizelli, born in Bologna in the thirteenth century, was the son of Guinizzello da Magnano. Trained in law, he worked as a judge in his native city. A Ghibelline, loyal to the Lambertazzi party, he was sentenced to exile when the Guelph Geremei won out in 1274, and spent his last years in Monselice. He died in 1276, still young, leaving some twenty poems that copyists soon gathered into the great anthologies of poetry in the vernacular.
