About

Guido Cavalcanti

Guido Cavalcanti (ca. 1255-1300) was, after Dante, the most important Italian poet of the thirteenth century. Adapting the courtly traditions of Provencal poetry into the dolce stil nuovo (sweet new style), Cavalcanti’s shorter poems broke fresh ground - creating models that influenced Petrarch and most other poets of the renaissance.
