Birth and Death of Perrach (jun 1, 1304 – may 1, 1374)
Description:
Petrarch is most famous for his Canzoniere, a collection of vernacular poems about a woman named Laura, whom the speaker loves throughout his life but cannot be with. Though he felt that he lived "amid varied and confusing storms," Petrarch believed that humanity could once more reach the heights of past accomplishments. The doctrine he espoused became known as humanism, and formed a bridge from the Middle Ages to the RenaissanceDIED IN Arquà Petrarca NOT ON GOOGLE MAPS.
