Abstract
This article is part of the monographic volume of the Annali d'Italianistica (2004) on "Francis Petrarch & the European Lyric Tradition." It reflects on how the notion of Petrarchism has been developed in recent criticism and in contemporary poetry. The attempt at tracing the complex problem of Petrarch’s cultural and poetic heritage has to go beyond the search for the “true” historical Petrarch or for his influence on modern poets. The real challenge is to take on Petrarch invitation to appreciate the value and the limits of poetic discourse in the context of modern culture, religion and philosophy.
