 His grandson Guido Novello upheld the power of the house and was also "capitano del popolo" at Bologna; he was overthrown in 1322.His chief claim to renown lies in the fact that in 1321 he gave hospitality to the poet Dante, who immortalized the tragic history of Guido the Elder's daughter Francesca da Rimini, unhappily married to Giovanni Malatesta, lord of Rimini, in an episode of "L'Inferno".Guido's kinsman Ostasio I was lord of Cervia and Ravenna from 1322 to 1329.
