The work of the first great writer in vernacular, the Canzoniere is a cornerstone of Italian literature, and includes 366 poems written and perfected over a lifetime.

The central theme is Petrarch’s love for Laura, whom he met in Avignon in 1327. This unfulfilled love is reflected in a wide range of moods, which oscillate between the sentimental idealization of his beloved and the painful awareness that this earthly passion hinders his spiritual tension towards God.
