Pitu Guli (in Bulgarian and Macedonian: Питу Гули) (1865, Krushevo—1903, Krushevo) was a Bulgarian revolutionary, a local leader of the Secret Macedonian-Adrianople Revolutionary Organization. He is considered an ethnic Macedonian in the Republic of Macedonia.
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 Sofia, 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 Bulgarian revolutionary activities. In 1902, Pitu travelled to Bulgaria again where he met up with Toma Davidov. On Guli's triumphant return to Macedonia, he was injured at the border and was forced to turn back.
Fully committed to the Macedonian Revolutionary movement in March 1903, and as a commander of a squad, he and the revolutionaries crossed the Bulgarian-Macedonian border heading for Krushevo. From April to August 1903, he trained and prepared his troops in the lead-up to the Ilinden Uprising (Ilindensko Vostanie), and was the commander of a large rebel detachment for the duration.
Guli is remembered by Bulgarians Macedonians as having fought heroically at Mechkin Kamen (Bear's Rock) near Krushevo during the Uprising, and he is remembered in song and poetry throughout Macedonia.
