Francesco Petrarca, better known to English speakers as Petrarch, was a highly influential late medieval Italian poet and one of the earliest humanists of the Renaissance period. Indeed, he is often referred to as the “father of humanism.” Italian poets Dante Alighieri, author of the Divine Comedy, and Giovanni Boccaccio, author of The Decameron, and later John Milton and William Shakespeare were inspired by Petrarch’s work
