Bonagiunta Orbicciani

Bonagiunta Orbicciani (* 1220 in Lucca, † 1290 ibid ) was one of the largest of the Tuscan -derived Italian poets of the 13th century. In his hometown was Orbicciani notary by profession and is considered the most faithful perhaps investigators of the styles of the Sicilians in Tuscany. His style seems to be far from the so-called clus trobar, from the difficult and intentionally dull style of Guittone, but with whom he shared the ethical issues, which he preferred a clear style that emerged from the trobar leu (light).

In one of his sonnets ( Voi, ch'avete mutata la maniera ) refer to Guinizelli by presenting its opinion against the rising dolce stil novo and makes the intellectualism which he. Than an approximation to the trobar clus feels accusations

From his literature 38 works have survived (18 and certain to him zuschreibbares sonnet, another 11 songs, 2 and 5 discordi ballads ), often aulischen the themes of the Sicilian, forward, ethnic, loving and non-judgmental stick stick school of poetry.

Orbicciani bound to a courtly education and to a concept of love as a refined pleasure, just did not see that the carrier of the sweet new style, philosophy and science looked at the tools of a psychological deepening of the concept of love, and that her poetry as a whole " piana e dolce " (clear and sweet) sound.

Dante Alighieri quotes him in his Divine Comedy Purgatorio and called him a champion of a worn seal.
