Specialist Notes

Rare edition of the operetta by Galezzo Capella, who was an Italian writer and politician, minister and diplomat in the service of Francesco II Sforza. His best known work is the Commentarii de rebus gestis pro restitutione Francisci Sfortiæ II. Example of illustrious provenance: by the great scholar and academic Giovan Battista Capponi (Bologna 1620 - 1675).
