  • Francesco Petrarca: Biografia Del Precursore Dell'umanesimo E Della Numismatica
    FRANCESCO PETRARCA: BIOGRAFIA DEL PRECURSORE DELL'UMANESIMO E DELLA NUMISMATICA. Francesco Petrarca nasce il 20 luglio 1304, ad Arezzo. Figlio di Eletta Cangiani (o Canigiani) e Ser Petracco, entrambi fiorentini. Il padre, notaio di Incisa, apparteneva alla fazione dei guelfi bianchi e fu amico di Dante Alighieri, esiliato da Firenze nel 1302. Il 10 marzo 1302 ci fu la sentenza, emanata da Cante Gabrielli da Gubbio, podestà di Firenze: tutti i guelfi bianchi venivano esiliati. Ser Petracco, oltre all'esilio, viene condannato al taglio della mano destra. Dopo Francesco nascono Giovanni, del quale Petrarca non parlerà mai nei suoi scritti, e l'amato fratello Gherardo, futuro monaco certosino. Francesco, a causa dell'esilio del padre, trascorre la sua infanzia in diversi luoghi della Toscana: prima Arezzo, poi Pisa. In quest'ultima città, dove il padre era solito spostarsi per ragioni politico-economiche, il padre si riunisce ai guelfi bianchi e ai ghibellini, per accogliere l'imperatore Arrigo VII. Secondo quanto affermato dallo stesso Petrarca, in questa città avviene il suo unico e fugace incontro con Dante Alighieri. Nel 1312 la famiglia di trasferisce a Carpentras, vicino Avignone, Francia, dove Petracco ottiene incarichi presso la Corte pontificia. Dal 1312 al 1316 Petrarca studia sotto la guida del letterato Convenevole da Prato, amico del padre, che verrà ricordato dal Petrarca nella Senile XVI, 1. In quel periodo conosce uno dei suoi più cari amici, Guido Sette, futuro arcivescovo di Genova, al quale Petrarca dedica la Senile X, 2. Nel 1316 Francesco, il fratello Gherardo e l'amico Guido Sette vengono mandati dalle famiglie a studiare diritto a Montpellier, città della Linguadoca.

Usher: Monuments More Enduring than Bronze: Boccaccio and Paper Inscript Heliotropia 4.1 (2007) http://www.heliotropia.org Monuments More Enduring than Bronze: Boccaccio and Paper Inscriptions n 20 October 1374, in almost the last year of his life, Boccaccio fi- nally received in Certaldo the sad news from Francescuolo da Bros- Osano, Petrarch’s son-in-law, that the great poet had breathed his last in his retreat at Arqua, in mid-July. We do not have Francesco’s letter, which presumably touched also upon a tidy bequest of florins to purchase for his old friend a warm garment for nocturnal study and research: in- somnia was a shared affliction.1 Boccaccio’s delayed reply of 3 November, offering his condolences to Francescuolo, far from being a spontaneous outpouring of grief, is a carefully composed piece of consolatory rhetoric, a genre famously essayed in a long letter of 1361 to the exiled Pino de’ Rossi.2 First Boccaccio treats Petrarch’s elevation to a better life, rhetorically balancing the deceased’s tranquil joy in heaven with the letter-writer’s own continued travails in this earthly life, beset as he is by (graphically de- scribed) illness.

  • Vita Di Francesco Petrarca (1304-1374) Francesco Petrarca Nacque Ad Arezzo Il 20 Luglio 1304
    Vita di Francesco Petrarca (1304-1374) Francesco Petrarca nacque ad Arezzo il 20 luglio 1304. Il padre ser Petracco, era un notaio fiorentino, esule per ragioni politiche. Nel 1334 ser Petracco si trasferì con la famiglia a Pisa e di là, nell'anno seguente, ad Avignone, dove il papa aveva da poco trasportato la sua sede e la sua corte. Per la difficoltà di trovare un alloggio ad Avignone, il piccolo Francesco con la madre Eletta Carigiani ed il fratello Gherardo furono sistemati nella vicina Carpentas; là nel 1312 il poeta cominciò lo studio della grammatica, della retorica e della dialettica col maestro Convenevole da Prato. Nel 1316 il padre lo mandò a studiare legge a Monpellier e poi dal 1320 al 1326 a Bologna; ma il poeta trascurò ben presto gli studi giuridici per dedicarsi alla lettura dei classici. Tornato ad Avignone nel 1326, dopo la morte del padre, Francesco Petrarca frequentò per un certo periodo il mondo elegante e gaudente della città, dove era assai ricercato per il suo spirito e la sua intelligenza. Assai importante in questo periodo fu l'incontro del poeta con una gentildonna di nome Laura nella chiesa di Santa Chiara, il 6 aprile 1327. I tentativi di dare un'identità precisa a Laura sono stati finora vani, e il poeta stesso ci dà di lei un'immagine vaga; è sufficiente quindi ritenere che l'amore per Laura fu un episodio reale nella vita del Petrarca. Frattanto il poeta abbracciò lo stato ecclesiastico (soltanto gli ordini minori) probabilmente con l'intento di procurarsi un'esistenza onorevole e tranquilla.

  • Il XXXI Dialogo Del De Remediis, Dedicato Agli Scacchi, Tavola Reale
    SECRETUM MEUM ES (Familiarum Rerum XXIII 13, by Petrarch) Thou canst ill abide that others take advantage of thy labours. Do not be indignant, nor wonder at it; life is full of such mocking jests and one should not marvel at ordinary events, all the more so as it is very seldom that anything else happens. Few things serve the person who made them and most often the greater the labour, the less the reward. A short marble slab covers the founders of great cities, which are enslaved by foreigners; one man builds a house, another lives in it and its architect lies under the open sky; this man sows, that one gathers and the man who sowed dies of hunger; one sails, another becomes wealthy with the merchandise brought across the sea and the sailor is miserably poor; lastly, one weaves, another wears the cloth and the weaver is left naked; one fights, another receives the reward of victory and the true victor is left without honours, one digs up gold, another spends it and the miner is poor; another collects jewels that yet another bears upon his finger and the jeweller starves; a woman gives birth to a child amidst suffering, another happily marries him and makes him her own, to the loss of his mother. There is not enough time to list all the examples that spring to mind and what else does that well known verse of Virgil’s mean: Not for yourselves do you make nests, oh birds? Thou knowest the rest…. Thus, in 1359, Francesco exhorts his friend Socrates to bear with composure, that others profit from his labours.

  • The Cambridge Companion to Petrarch Edited by Albert Russell Ascoli and Unn Falkeid Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-00614-0 - The Cambridge Companion to Petrarch Edited by Albert Russell Ascoli and Unn Falkeid Frontmatter More information the cambridge companion to petrarch Petrarch (Francesco Petrarca, 1304–1374), best known for his influential collec- tion of Italian lyric poetry dedicated to his beloved Laura, was also a remarkable classical scholar, a deeply religious thinker, and a philosopher of secular ethics. In this wide-ranging study, chapters by leading scholars view Petrarch’s life through his works, from the epic Africa to the “Letter to Posterity,” from the Canzoniere to the vernacular epic Triumphi. Petrarch is revealed as the heir to the converging influences of classical cultural and medieval Christianity, but also to his great vernacular precursor, Dante, and his friend, collaborator, and sly critic, Boccaccio. Particular attention is given to Petrach’s profound influence on the Humanist movement and on the courtly cult of vernacular love poetry, while raising important questions as to the validity of the distinction between medieval and modern, and what is lost in attempting to classify this elusive figure. albert russell ascoli is Gladyce Arata Terrill Distinguished Professor at the University of California, Berkeley. His publications include Ariosto’s Bitter Harmony: Crisis and Evasion in the Italian Renaissance (1987); Making and Remaking Italy: The Cultivation of National Identity around the Risorgimento (co-edited with Krystyna von Henneberg, 2001); Dante and the Making of a Modern Author (Cambridge, 2008); and A Local Habitation and a Name: Imagining Histories in the Italian Renaissance (2011).

  • Francesco-Petrarca.Pdf
    Francesco Petrarca 1 Francesco Petrarca « Il saggio muta consiglio, ma lo stolto resta della sua opinione. » (F. Petrarca, Ecloghe, VIII) Francesco Petrarca (Arezzo, 20 luglio 1304 – Arquà, 18/19 luglio 1374) è stato uno scrittore e poeta italiano. L'opera per cui Petrarca è universalmente noto è il Canzoniere. Di grande importanza è anche il Secretum, in cui Petrarca dialoga con sant'Agostino alla presenza muta della Verità. Petrarca, nonostante si considerasse soprattutto, come tutti gli eruditi del suo tempo, un autore di lingua latina, svolse un ruolo essenziale per lo sviluppo della poesia italiana in volgare. Egli è innanzitutto il poeta da cui scaturisce l'autonomia della poesia, il poeta della modernità. Infatti, essendo caratterizzato dal dissidio interiore e dal dubbio, ed avendo egli incentrato la propria produzione letteraria sull'individuo, è stato definito dalla critica "protoumanista". L'opera lirica di Petrarca somma in sé tutte le esperienze della poesia italiana delle origini, compiendo tuttavia una selezione dal punto di vista della metrica (stabilendo ad esempio precise regole sull'accentazione degli endecasillabi che all'epoca di Dante era ancora meno codificata) e negli argomenti (escludendo dal canone tematico gli elementi goliardici e realistici che nel Duecento erano stati presenti e che continuavano ad Francesco Petrarca avere successo nel Trecento) con cui si influenzò fortemente tutta la poesia a venire. Il fenomeno del petrarchismo costituisce uno dei capitoli più complessi nella storia delle tradizioni letterarie europee. Biografia Francesco era figlio di Eletta Cangiani (o Canigiani) e del notaio ser Pietro di Parenzo di Garzo dell'Incisa (soprannominato Ser Petracco, noto nei documenti con il cognome di Petracca, quasi identico a quello che il figlio renderà famoso), entrambi fiorentini.
