Lapo Gianni
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lapo Gianni (died after 1328) was an Italian poet who lived in Florence in the 13th-14th centuries. He was a member of the Florentine circle of the Italian movement called Dolce Stil Novo.
Born in Florence in the mid-1250s, Lapo Gianni was probably a notary. He was an intimate friend of Dante and Guido Cavalcanti and was associated politically with Dante during his priorate. Little further is known of him save that he belonged to the Ricevuti family and was still living in May, 1328, so that he survived both Dante and Cavalcanti. A number of his poems have been preserved, besides the register of his notarial acts for thirty years, from May 24, 1298, to May 24, 1328.[1]
