Poetry
In poetry, a canzona is a short lyric poem that developed in Provence, France, and became popular in Italy during the Middle Ages. The subject of canzoni (Italian: "songs") was usually love, nature, or feminine beauty. In form, a canzone was composed of stanzas of equal length and closed with an envoi, a shorter stanza. The number of lines in the stanzas varied from 7 to 20. The most famous writers of canzoni were the 14th-century writers Dante and Petrarch.
