Don't hesitate to move the article back to [[Francesco Petrarch]]; maybe that's right, I don't claim to know much about him. It's just that we prefer the names by which someone is most commonly known, and there are some historical figures, like [[Michelangelo]] (often from the Renaissance, no?), who have these sorts of single names. --[[User:Larry Sanger|Larry Sanger]] 19:32, 1 November 2007 (CDT) | |||
