Guido delle Colonne
Guido delle Colonne was a 13th-century Italian judge and writer, living at Messina, who wrote in Latin. He is the author of a prose narrative of the Trojan War entitled Historia destructionis Troiae, that was based on De excidio Trojae historia written by Dares Phrygius and Ephemeridos belli Trojani written by Dictys Cretensis.
Dante named Guido as a poet in the vernacular, and in fact five poems by him in Italian survive.
