Folgore

Folgore, of San Geminiano, an Italian poet of the 13th century. He wrote sonnets, which are valuable as throwing light upon his times. They have been translated by Dante Rossetti and J. A. Symonds, and contain much striking imagery. It has been said of them that "every line is a picture," and that every picture has the "charm of miniature upon a missal marge."
