 | | Born to the noble and powerful family of the Cavalcanti, Guido was a celebrated poet whose work belongs, along with that of Dante, Lapo Gianni, Dino Frescobaldi and others, to the school of the dolce stil novo. |
 | | Guido married Beatrice degli Uberti, daughter of the famous Farinata, in 1267 as part of a political reconciliation between Black and White factions of the Guelph party. |
 | | In the ninth tale of Day Six, Guido is portrayed, in accordance with contemporary judgments of his character, as an intellectual, but proud and solitary. |
