Description: Firenze: Olschki, 2012. 2 vols. 24cm., pbk., 788pp., 16 color, 66 b&w illus. English text. Summary: Michelangelo Buonarroti il Giovane (1568-1647), a Florentine patrician and great-nephew of the famous artist, was one of the principal poets producing musical spectacles for conspicuous consumption by the Medici grand dukes, collaborating with major composers amid contemporary experiments that became the forerunners of early opera and put him at the intersection of powerful forces of patrons and clients. By examining the broader concepts of cultural clientelism and brokerage networks in the early modern process of cultural dissemination, Janie Cole analyzes Buonarroti's multifaceted roles at Italy's princely courts, recasting his significant contribution to early seventeenth- century Italian musical spectacle and literature, his critical role as a cultural broker and his involvement with the leading institutions in Florence's civic life - from literary, musical and artistic academies and confraternities to churches and convents and private households - thus exploring music and poetry's broader places in the city's ceremonial practices and cultural discourses and the intersections between court and city, state and church, sacred and secular, and public and private in an intricate world of shifting power dynamics during the late Renaissance and early Baroque periods.
