Canzoniere (Rerum vulgarium fragmenta), vol. 1

by Francesco Petrarca

Il *Canzoniere* di Francesco Petrarca, noto anche come *Rerum Vulgarium Fragmenta*, è una raccolta di 366 componimenti poetici in volgare italiano, principalmente sonetti e canzoni, scritti tra il 1327 e il 1374. L'opera è dedicata all'amore idealizzato di Petrarca per Laura, una donna di cui si è innamorato a prima vista nel 1327. L'amore per Laura è il tema principale del *Canzoniere*, ma Petrarca esplora anche temi come la natura, la religione, la fama e la morte. La raccolta è divisa in due sezioni: la prima contiene poesie che celebrano la bellezza e l'amore di Laura, mentre la seconda contiene poesie che riflettono sulla sua morte e sulla natura dell'amore e della vita. Il *Canzoniere* è considerato uno dei capolavori della letteratura italiana ed ha avuto un'influenza profonda sulla poesia europea. Lo stile di Petrarca, caratterizzato da eleganza e musicalità, ha ispirato numerosi poeti successivi.
