Guido Guinizelli

Italian poet

Guido Guinizzelli (c. 1230–1276), born in Bologna, in present-day Emilia-Romagna, Northern Italy, was an Italian poet and 'founder' of the Dolce Stil Novo. He was the first to write in this new style of poetry writing, and thus is held to be the ipso facto founder.

If there be none to teach.

The highest summit reach.

Thou’lt see that death is written in my face.
