    The house, in addition to being a monument to itself, offers a journey dedicated to the personality of Francesco Petrarca, the places he loved, his myth and the myth of the house. The building, which dates back to the thirteenth century, still maintains much of its original fourteenth-century structures, despite numerous restorations and alterations and the sixteenth-century addition of the loggia. In the 16th century the rooms were frescoed with a cycle inspired by Petrarca's most famous works, the Canzoniere and Africa. Petrarch moved there in 1369 and decided to restore the pre-existing building, adapting it to his needs and personally following the works. Upon the poet's death in 1374, several owners succeeded one another, but the house did not undergo substantial changes. The walk in the garden is pleasant.
