Italian poet, born at Santa Firmina, Italy, in the first part of the thirteenth century. In early life he wrote chivalrous love-songs in imitation of the troubadours, but later joined the order called Frati Gaudenti, condemned all that he had hitherto praised, and began writing poems and letters, in the Latin style, on political and religious subjects. He left thirty-five sonnets, which were published in Florence in 1838, under the title of Revire. He died in 1294. See also Love’s Bondman.
