NEW WORK IN THE ITALIAN RENAISSANCE 

The fourteenth-century humanist poet Petrarch so admired the poetic achievements of his older contemporary Dante Alighieri that he claimed that they represented a rebirth (‘renascita’) of poetry as good as anything which had been written in ancient Rome.
(D. MacCulloch, The Reformation:  Europe’s House Divided (Penguin 2004), p. 76)
