Relating to the 13th century, particularly in Italian art and history, equivalent to 'duecento' meaning 'two hundred' (referring to 1200s).
From Italian 'duecento,' literally 'two hundred,' referring to the 1200s in Italian numbering. It's used to describe the art and cultural movement of 13th-century Italy, particularly in Florence and surrounding regions.
Italians number centuries by the hundreds they contain, so 'duecento' (200) means the 1200s, 'trecento' (300) means the 1300s. It's a completely different system from English, and it's used to describe incredible medieval Italian art that led directly to the Renaissance!
