Henry of Settimello

Henry of Settimello was a late 12th-century Italian poet. Arrigo is considered Italy's leading Latin poet of what is called the twelfth-century Renaissance. He was the author of De diversitate fortunæ et philosophiæ consolatione, a Latin poem in elegiac couplets. His Latin nickname is linked with a story that he could not afford paper and was forced to write his poems on old parchment.
