Petrarca (1304-1374) - Nome completo: Francesco Petrarca.
Pedagogo, humanista e poeta italiano, Petrarca foi a maior força do Renascimento.
Ficou famoso por seus poemas endereçados a Laura, uma amada idealizada que ele encontrou em 1327 e morreu em 1348.
muito se tem tentado descobrir quem era essa mulher, mas tudo o que se sabe, é que Petrarca
a encontrou em Avignon, quando estava a serviço de um influente Cardeal.
Acredita-se que ela tivesse à época do encontro, 19 anos de idade e fosse esposa de Hugues de Sade.
Petrarca a viu pela primeira vez na igreja de Saint Claire.
De acordo com recentes estudos, é possível que Laura não passe de uma figura de ficção, contudo ela é a mais presente personagem
da Poesia Trovadoresca, bem como da Poesia Cortesã.
