Petrarch
Francesco Petrarca, commonly known as Petrarch, was an Italian poet and scholar born in 1304 in Arezzo. He is often considered the father of Humanism and is best known for his sonnets, particularly those addressed to his beloved Laura. His work significantly influenced the Renaissance and the development of lyrical poetry. Petrarch's exploration of personal emotion and nature laid the groundwork for future poets, and his love for classical antiquity inspired a revival of interest in ancient Greek and Roman literature.
