Trecento
The Trecento (Italian cultural history.[5]
Period
Art
The Trecento is considered to be the beginning of the
Giotto di Bondone, as well as painters of the Sienese School, which became the most important in Italy during the century, including Duccio di Buoninsegna, Simone Martini, Lippo Memmi, Ambrogio Lorenzetti and his brother Pietro. Important sculptors included two pupils of Giovanni Pisano: Arnolfo di Cambio and Tino di Camaino, and Bonino da Campione
.
Vernacular writing
The Trecento was also famous as a time of heightened literary activity, with writers working in the vernacular instead of Latin.
Dante, Petrarch and Boccaccio were the leading writers of the age. Dante produced his famous La divina commedia (The Divine Comedy), now seen as a summation of the medieval worldview, and Petrarch wrote verse in a lyrical style influenced by the Provençal poetry of the troubadours
.
Secular music
In music, the Trecento was a time of vigorous activity in Italy, as it was in
Antonio Zachara da Teramo, Matteo da Perugia, and Johannes Ciconia
