His first reignment in 1447 ended after a half year, a second try killed him in 1354 and his corpse was drawn by horses through the streets of Rome, a very special form of counter-Trionfi. It seems, that already Cola de Rienzo tried to reestablish forms of triumphal processions in their earlier form, in his best times he himself adopted beside other titles the name Imperator Orbis and behaved in the style of an oriental sultan. Petrarca followed Rienzo's career with great interest and took contact to him, taking sincerely part in Rienzo wild hopes. With Cola de Rienzo a new political head appeared in Rome and awakened classical ideals. Which happened before: In 1341 he became poetus laureatus - this and his love to a perhaps only imagined personal love-idol with the name Laura in a considerable manner dominated his literary work in the 40ies of 14th century,Ĭoncentrated the theme and of course the laurel as attribute of the triumphator in the classical trionfi. Petrarcas way to the poem and just this title 'Trionfi' is observable in some actions, from 1356 - 1374) he wrote the poem I Trionphi (Trionfi) in six chapters: Love, Chastity, Death, Fame, Time, Eternity. Diplomatic missions, especially in the service of the Visconti in Milano, did lead him to the most important political leaders, he met Popes, the Emperor Charles IV. Petrarch's inquiring mind and love of classical authors urged him to travel, visiting men of learning and searching the libraries for classical manuscripts.

Often he's called the father of Renaissance and was regarded as the greatest scholar of his age. Petrarca and the Trionfi Francesco Petrarca (1304-1374) (Petrarch) was an Italian scholar, poet and humanist.
