Bonagiunta Orbicciani

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bonagiunta Orbicciani, also called Bonaggiunta and Urbicciani (Lucca, ca. 1220 1290), was an Italian poet of the Tuscan School, which drew on the work of the Sicilian School.[1] His main occupation was as a judge and notary.[2] Fewer than forty of his poems survive.[2]

He appears as a character in Canto 24 of Dante's Purgatorio, where he comments on the sweet new style of his successors.[1]
