Il Canzoniere
Il Canzoniere is "Songbook" in English.
It is a collection of poems by the Italian humanist, poet, and writer Petrarch.
Though the majority of Petrarch's works was in Latin, the Canzoniere was written in the vernacular.
Its central theme is the poet's love for Laura, a woman Petrarch met on April 6, 1327, in the Church of Sainte Claire in Avignon.
