Who is called the father of humanism because he led the way in reviv-ing interest and study in classical literature?

Francesco Petrarca was an Italian poet and humanist, whose work gave rise to a literary current (called Petrarchism) that influenced important European authors especially from the sixteenth century, who tried to create poems such as those Petrarch wrote in his Il Canzoniere (Songbook) dedicated to Laura, his muse.

Petrarch devoted almost all his life to the study of the Greco-Latin authors, defended and promoted the classical culture and language at a time when only the clergy wrote in Latin, so he brought this language to the university academic currents.

In addition, with his humanistic conception, he tried to harmonize the Greco-Roman legacy with the ideas of Christianity and dedicated much of his time and fortune to recovering from the old monasteries and libraries the greatest possible number of ancient manuscripts. In fact, his compositions were a literary revolution in Italy, to the point that the author, in addition to being recognized as the father of Humanism, is also granted the modern lyric.
