Final answer:

Italian sonnets, known as Petrarchan sonnets, have a specific structure with an octave and sestet, each with distinct rhyme schemes and a volta between them.


Explanation:

Italian sonnets, also known as Petrarchan sonnets, have a specific structure consisting of an octave (a stanza of eight lines) followed by a sestet (a stanza of six lines).

The rhyme scheme for the octave in an Italian sonnet is abbaabba, while the sestet has a varying rhyme scheme such as cdecde.

The volta, which is a shift in tone or argument, occurs between the octave and sestet in a Petrarchan sonnet, distinguishing it from the Shakespearean sonnet.
