About the event
Autobiographical, composed and revised over thirty years, Francesco Petrarca’s Trionfi ‘Triumphs’ is a series of poems in which the poet witnesses a succession of powerful forces through six allegorical figures: Love, Chastity, Death, Fame, Time and Eternity. Petrarch’s description of falling in love, experiencing unrequited love and grieving death are universal human experiences and a quest for truth. Piffaro, the Renaissance Band and TENET Vocal Artists come together to honor the 650th anniversary of the death of Francesco Petrarch, founder of humanism and the most influential poet of the Italian Renaissance.
Free to attend.
