Posted: 04 Jul 2021, 09:00
Francesco Petrarca (* 20. July 1304 in Arezzo; † 19. July 1374 in Arquà) ...
20. July 1304 was a Sunday. Petrarca was born in Arezzo as Bruni ... who wrote a biography of Petrarca in 1433 and cared for the condition, that Petrarca was seen as a Florentine scholar and poet (though he spend only very few time on Florentine territory . .
Leonardo Bruni (* ca. 1369 in Arezzo; † 9. März 1444 in Florenz)
Wiki: "Nel 1384, dunque, Arezzo fu annessa allo Stato toscano dominato da Firenze."
In 1384 Arezzo was integrated in the state of Tuscany, which was dominated by Florence. Not all people in Arezzo were happy about that.
Petrarca was crowned as poetus laureatus 8th of April 1341 in Rome, which should have been a Sunday.
Petrarca died with 69 years and 364 days, which means that he died one day before his birthday ... possibly there were preparations to celebrate his 70th birthday.
If one considers the possibility, that the invention of the name "Trionfi" for a specific playing card deck type had something to do with "Trionfi", the long poem of Petrarca (which still wasn't totally finished at his death), and the condition, that the structure of this deck type might have been in its beginning "5x14=70 cards", then we would have a funny observation of the coincidence of this real "nearly 70 years" and the "possible 70 cards", about which we have talked so much about.
