Who is Guido delle Colonne?

Guido delle Colonne was an early 13th-century Italian 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.
