Festival culture is an area which has attracted increasing interest
in the field of Renaissance studies in recent years. Even though
there are numerous books about European festivals, emphasizing
their great importance for interdisciplinary study, the great
tradition of court entertainment in the House of Savoy has been
largely overlooked. Filippo d'Agli (1604-1667) dominated the
musical life of seventeenth-century Turin, during the reign of
Duchess Cristina, for more than three decades (1624-1660) with the
creation of more than thirty ballets, carousels and tourneys, whose
popularity magnified the political significance of court
festivities, such as royal weddings, birthdays and carnivals.
D'Agli 's ballets are undoubtedly among the masterpieces of the
theatrical genre of the era. His surviving manuscripts clearly show
the extend of his ingenuity and diversity of his artistic talents.
He was one of the eminent personalities in the history of
seventeenth-century Italy and his extraordinary talents as a
musician, choreographer and poet transformed the royal
entertainment of the day into an event of major historical, aristic
and cultural significance.
