Early Renaissance. At the beginning of the 15th century, humanism * started to spread in Italy. The research of Petrarch, Boccaccio et al helped regain interest in classical culture. Humanist writers use ancient resources to solve social problems. For example, Leon Battista Alberti (1404-1472) discusses the personal citizenship duty of On the Family. In the mid-15th century, several factors contributed to the development of literature. Discovery of ancient text that has been lost for many years stimulated the writer with a new literary model. Wealthy clients of aristocrats and clergy * support the work of the author. At the same time, with the invention of removable printing machines, books are made available to more and more readers.

Humanism in the Renaissance era was the movement of European intellectuals from the late Middle Ages to the early modern era. The 19th century German historian George Woight (1827-91) regarded Petrarch as the first humanitarian of the Renaissance. Paul Johnson agreed that Petrarch first said "Roman autumn to the present century is the dark ages." According to Petrarch, what is needed to improve this situation is careful study and imitation of great classical writers. The biggest protagonist of Petrarch and Boccaccio is Cicero, whose prose is prose of learning (Latin) and native language (Italian).

Francesco Petrarca, known in English as Petrarch, is an Italian scholar, poet and one of the first Renaissance humanists. Petrarch is often called "father of humanitarianism". Based on Petrarch's work, and not by Dante Alighieri and Giovanni Boccaccio, Pietro Bembo created a modern Italian model in the 16th century and was later recognized by Accademia della Crusca. Petrarch was praised for his Sonnet development. During the Renaissance his sonnet was admired, imitated and modeled in lyric poetry in Europe. Petrarch was also one of the first people called medieval dark ages.
