The poem Giacomo begins to read is En greu esmay et en greu pessamen by Clara d'Anduza, a trobairitz from the first half of the XIII century. I found the English translation here: [link] How Giacomo is in possession of such a song, is beyond my knowledge
I struggled a bit to find an appropriate text for this scene. I inspected my anthology of Provençal poetry, unsure whether I should use a famous text such as Jaufré Rudel's Lanquan li jorn son lonc en May or something else. Then I decided that the poem should be from a trobairitz and I searched only for them... In the end, En greu esmay et en greu pessamen seemed to me the most fitting.

The use of of the poem is justifiable - the troubadors/trobairitz (or at least their songs) used to go to and fro between Provence, Spain and Italy all the time. Especially during the first half of the thirteenth century when it was so turbulent and a lot of refugees were fleeing to Lombardy from the Albigensian crusade. It is not beyond chance that the poem could have gone with one of them, or with other itinerant wanderers. Especially at it seems she knew Pons de Capduelh - he went on the fifth crusade and the road to the East was through Italy. Not to mention the courts of the Hohenstaufen in Sicily also liked a good collection of poetry/lyrics. Not sure how he would have it written down... but maybe he did that later on.
Oh, and I love it.
