Other facts to include in my personal Hall of Fame:

Petarch also wrote poetry, his sonnets to Laura are love poems their style greatly influenced writers of his time.

He is widely considered one of the finest minds of his time and the earliest humanist.Petrarch’s career in church did not allow him to marry but he nonetheless had two children Petrarch travelled through northern Italy as a poet-diplomat and a traveler.

He had two children, a son named Giovanni and a daughter, Francesca. He moved out of Avignon after developing serious differences with Pope Innocent VI and Avignon court.

Petarch wrote in the Vernacularor everday language of ordinary people.
