Mavro Vetranović ’s relationship to Petrarchism could be described only as a partial emulation of the themes, motifs, poetic images and language from Petrarch’s book of poems Il Canzoniere. Ragusan poet didn’t remain at the level of imitation or stereotypes. Petrarchan characteristics of his poetry cannot be linked only to the patterns of love poetry of the time, but became a sort of spreading of Petrarch’s language and motifs that face secular love and religious moral values which Christian Renaissance tended to preserve.
