Baronial Patronage of w88 slot online in Early Modern Rome

This is the first dedicated study of the musical patronage of a Roman baronial family in the 16th and early 17th centuries. Bringing to light new archival documentation, this book examines the intricate network of patronage interrelationships in Rome. Unlike other Italian cities where political control was monocentric and exercised by single rulers, sources of patronage in Rome comprised a multiplicity of courts and potential patrons, which included the pope, high prelates, nobles and foreign diplomats. Morucci uses archival records and the correspondence of the Orsini and Colonna families in particular, to investigate the local activity and circulation of musicians and the cultivation of w88 slot online within the broader civic network of Roman aristocratic families over the period. The author also shows that the familial union of the Medici and Orsini families established a bidirectional network for artistic exchange outside of the Eternal City and that the Orsini-Colonna circle represented a musical bridge between Naples, Rome and Florence.
