The Italian poet Petrarch wrote about his ascent of Mont Ventoux (in Provence; elevation 1912 meters) on 26 April 1336 in a well-known letter published as one of his Epistolae familiares (IV, 1). In this letter, written around 1350, Petrarch claimed to be the first person since antiquity to have climbed a mountain for the view. Although the historical accuracy of his account has been questioned by modern scholars, it is often cited in discussions of the new spirit of the Renaissance.

  • De Beklimming van de Mont Ventoux is een brief van de Italiaanse dichter Francesco Petrarca over zijn tocht naar de top van de Mont Ventoux op 26 april 1336, gericht aan Dionigi di Borgo San Sepolcro. De brief werd later omstreeks 1350 gepubliceerd in zijn (IV, 1). In deze brief beweerde Petrarca de eerste mens te zijn sinds de klassieke oudheid die een bergtop besteeg omwille van het uitzicht van de top, louter uit begeerte om zijn bijzondere hoogte nader in ogenschouw te nemen. Hoewel de historische juistheid hiervan soms in twijfel wordt getrokken (bijvoorbeeld door de Petrarca kenner Giuseppe Billanovich, ’Petrarca e il Ventoso’, 1966) wordt die bewering vaak aangehaald bij beschrijvingen van de tijdgeest die opkwam in de renaissance.

  • De Beklimming van de Mont Ventoux is een brief van de Italiaanse dichter Francesco Petrarca over zijn tocht naar de top van de Mont Ventoux op 26 april 1336, gericht aan Dionigi di Borgo San Sepolcro.

Petrarca's beklimming van de Mont Ventoux wordt wel beschouwd als begin van het toerisme en soms ook wel van de bergsport. De top van de Mont Ventoux, de enige berg die de Zuid-Franse Provence rijk is, ligt op 1912 meter hoogte. (nl)
  • A Dionigi da San Sepolcro dell'ordine di Sant'Agostino e professore della Sacra Pagina. Sui propri affanni., comunemente nota come Ascesa al monte Ventoso, è una lettera scritta da Francesco Petrarca in latino, raccolta nelle Familiares (IV, 1). Narra l'ascesa del mont Ventoux compiuta dal poeta e dal fratello tra il 24 e il 26 aprile 1336. Per quanto rechi in calce l'indicazione «Malaucena, 26 aprile 1336», insigni studiosi, quali Giuseppe Billanovich e , hanno dimostrato come la composizione (o almeno una possibile rielaborazione) sia da posticipare al 1352 o al 1353. Il documento è indirizzato all'amico Dionigi di Borgo San Sepolcro, frate agostiniano e teologo che aveva regalato al Petrarca una copia delle Confessioni di Sant'Agostino, opera che influenzò molto il poeta e che nella lettera viene citata quando Francesco, giunto in vetta, ne legge un passaggio. Nell'Ascesa al monte Ventoso, numerose sono le frasi di Petrarca che prendono spunto dagli scritti di Virgilio, autore molto amato dal poeta. (it)
