Who was Folgóre da San Gimignano?
Folgóre da San Gimignano, pseudonym of Giacomo di Michele or Jacopo di Michele was an Italian poet.
He represented mostly hunting scenes, jousts of the citadine bourgeoisie of Tuscany. 32 sonnets are attributed to him, written around 1308-1316. The most famous ones are the corone dedicated to the days of the week and the months. The language was a derivation of the Provençal then ruling in Italian poetry. Others had an anti-Ghibelline satirical tone.
His corone were later satirized by Cenne della Chitarra.
Little more is known about his life: he is cited in a document in 1295 and other sources date his death to 1332.
