Sonetto

A sonnet is a poetic form that consists of 14 lines, typically written in a specific rhyme scheme and meter, often iambic pentameter. Its structure allows poets to explore themes such as love, beauty, and mortality in a focused and expressive way. Sonnets often include a turn or shift in tone or insight around the middle or end, emphasizing a change in thought. This form has been popular since the Renaissance, notably used by poets like Shakespeare and Petrarch, and remains a versatile way to convey deep emotion and reflection within a compact, elegant structure.
