Duecento (UK: /ˌdjuːəˈtʃɛntoʊ/,^[1] Italian: [ˌdu.eˈtʃɛnto] literally "two hundred") or Dugento^[2] is the Italian word for the Italian culture of the 13th century - that is to say 1200 to 1299. During this period the first shoots of the Italian Renaissance appeared, in literature and art, to be developed in the following trecento period.

The period built on the so-called Renaissance of the 12th century, and movements originating elsewhere, such as the Gothic architecture of France. Most of the innovation in both the visual arts and literature was concentrated in the second half of the century, after about 1250, when major new directions opened up in both painting and sculpture, mostly in northern Italy, and the Dolce Stil Novo (Sweet New Style) emerged in poetry.
