Giacomino Pugliese was one of the most notable poets to come out of the Sicilian school for Italian poetry during the early years of the 13th century.
What made his poetry unique and separate from the norm was the expression of true feelings and emotion.
His use of informal structure in his poems made it more relatable to the common person.
Of his eight total works the one that stands out the most is "Death, why have you made so great a war against me".
This poem stands out more than the rest due to the use of real emotion and shocking truth about the passing of a loved one.
