Francesco Petrarca
Francesco Petrarca, known as Petrarch, was an Italian scholar, poet, and humanist in the 14th century, often considered one of the earliest figures of the Italian Renaissance. His love sonnets, particularly those dedicated to his muse Laura, have influenced countless poets and writers. Recently, he was in the news as the Italian Parliament commemorated the 650th anniversary of his death, contrasting with the rejection of celebrations for Giovanni Boccaccio.
