Born to an Aromanian family, he demonstrated an independent and rebellious nature from early in life. Guli came from a poor background and left Macedonia at the age of 17 to seek wealth in his sister nationSofia, the Bulgarian capital. In 1885, Pitu Guli returned to Macedonia, formed a rebel squad and joined up with other elements of the revolutionary movement against the Ottoman rulers of the region.
Upon his return from Bulgaria, Pitu was sentenced to eight years imprisonment, seven years of which were spent in the prison of Trabzon. In 1894 he again returned to Kruševo, and became a member of Secret Macedonian-Adrianople Revolutionary Organization. From this time on, he was fully committed to the cause of Bulgaro-Macedonian revolutionary activities. In 1902, Pitu travelled to Bulgaria again where he met up with Toma Davidov. On Guli's return to Macedonia, he was injured at the border and was forced to turn back.
