Trecento

The Trecento (/trˈɛnt/,[1][2][3] also US: /trɛˈ-/,[4] Italian: [ˌtreˈtʃɛnto]; short for milletrecento, "1300") refers to the 14th century in Italian cultural history.[5] The Trecento is considered to be the beginning of the Italian Renaissance or at least the Proto-Renaissance in art history. The Trecento was also famous as a time of heightened literary activity, with writers working in the vernacular instead of Latin. In music, the Trecento was a time of vigorous activity in Italy, as it was in France, with which there was a frequent interchange of musicians and influences.
