Petrarch
Francesco Petrarca, commonly known as Petrarch, was one of the first Italian scholars and poets and one of the first humanists. It is often thought that Petrarch's rediscovery of Cicero's letters had the beginning of the Renaissance in Italy in the 14th century and the establishment of Renaissance humanism. In the 16th century, Pietro Bembo modeled the modern Italian language based on the works of Petrarch, as well as Giovanni Boccaccio and to a lesser extent Dante Alighieri. Petrarch was later confirmed by the Accademia della Crusca as an Italian-style model. Petrarch's sonnets were admired and imitated throughout Renaissance Europe and served as a model for lyrical poetry. He is also known to be the first to develop the "Dark Age" concept.
