An excellent video. But I most point out that there is a huge mistake at 3:01. The sonnet that is spoken is not the one written. The one spoken starts with: "Voi ch'ascoltate in rime sparse il suono"... and it is most definitely not the one written! Translated, this would mean: "You who hear the sound, in scattered rhymes..." Very unprofessional.
However I think this is a good video to know the fundamental beginnings of our european literature.

@lestatlover2897 I'm taking a positive guess he is Italian.

@anthonyturner2k Even if he was italian, he doesn't pronounce my language as good as he could do it.

@guisarius I didn't refer to the voice reading the poetry.

Laura was a big fat bitch. Freakin' frigid fuck, she did not deserve the love Petrarch gave her.
