Specialist Notes
Precious collection of baroque short stories. In 1641, again for Sarzina, the undertaking of the Novelle amorose degl'Incogniti began, destined to flow into the powerful Cento novelle amorose of 1651, entrusted first to F. Carmeni and then to M. Bisaccioni, which constitutes the most important legacy of the 'Accademia degli Incogniti as well as yet another proof of Giovan Francesco Loredan's ability as a cultural organizer. In the collection, the homology not so much of styles and narrative structure as of themes and customs accentuates the impression of a group ethic bordering on sectarianism.
