Answer
The influence of the prominent Roman poet, Gaius Valerius Catullus, during the vibrant Renaissance period of Europe was primarily witnessed among Neo-Latin poets. These Latin poets, writing during the 14th to 16th centuries, found great inspiration and drew extensively from Catullus's lyrical poetry, marked by its wit, eroticism, and personal expression. They emulated his style, adopted similar poetic forms, and paid homage to his mastery over the Latin language.
