Petrarka was born on July 20 in Hyreszo, where his father, the Florentine notary Pietro Di Parenzo, the nickname Petrakko, who was expelled from Florence - simultaneously with Dante - for belonging to the White party.

After long wandering in small cities of Tuscany, the parents of the nine -year -old Francesco moved to Avignon, and then his mother - to the neighboring Carpantra. Here, in France, Petrarka entered school, learned the Latin language and got a taste for Roman literature. After graduating from training, Petrarka at the request of his father began to study the right, first in Montpellier, and then at the University of Bologna, where his father remained until the death of his father, but the jurisprudence was not at all interested in Petrarch, who was more and more fond of classic writers.

Upon leaving the university, he did not become a lawyer, but was dedicated to priests to find life funds, since by inheritance from his father he received only the manuscript of Virgil's works. Having settled in the Avignon at the Papal Court, Petrarka entered the spiritual rank and became close to the powerful name of the column, one of the members of which, Jacomo, was his university comrade, and next year he first saw Laura, the unrequited love for which was the main source of his poetry and served as one of the reasons for his removal from Avignon into a secluded Vokliz.

Petrarka is also known for the first officially registered ascension with his brother to the top of the Mont-Wante, which took place on April 26, although it was known that Jean Buridan and ancient residents of this area visited the top.

Dreaming of the revival of the greatness of Ancient Rome, he began to preach the restoration of the Roman Republic, supporting the adventure of the “tribune” of Kola Di Ryenzi, which ruined his relationship from the column and prompted to move to Italy.

After two long trips to Italy - and - where he started numerous friendships, including Bokkaccio, Petrarch left Vokliz in the city of rejecting the department offered to him in Florence, Petrarka settled in Milan at the court of Visconti; He performed various diplomatic missions and, by the way, was in Prague of Karl IV, whom Petrarka visited by his invitation during his stay in Mantua.
