In England Sir Thomas Watt (1503-1542), adopted and adapted the Italian Petrarchan sonnet named after Francesco Petrach, during the 16th century.

(102) In 1949 come one on the depictin of Apollo and the nine Muses in Raphael's fresco of Mount Parnassus, based on Petrach and painted for the Sala della Signatur a in the Vatican.

His programme includes William Alwyn's Twelve Preludes, three Petrach Sonnets by Liszt, Frank Bridge's Piano Sonata and three of Debussy's Preludes.

(2) Alfred Kellogg (1972) has written on the background of the Clerk's tale's use of Griselda as it is found in Boccaccio and Petrach.

He knew that opera could no longer speak in a stylised idiom that had originated some time at the beginning of the seventeenth century and drawn on the tradition of Petrach and Dante.

Flacius appropriated Petrach's charmingly detailed story of an elderly member of the College of Cardinals in Avignon, probably written in 1358.

It may not be only a coincidence that De Robertis, friend of Ungaretti, besides eminent critic of both Petrarch's and Ungaretti's poetry, wrote in the essay on Petrarch in Studi 32-46, which is important regarding a new direction in the studies of Petrarch's style, mentioning Mallarme; on the question of Ungaretti's and De Robertis' lectures on Petrach, see Noferi, "Le poetiche critiche novecentesche 'sub specie Petrarchae'"; also the article on De Robertis' literary criticism "L'ascesi stilistica" (both in Le poetiche critiche novecentesche).
