The sixteenth century was a period of tumultuous religious change
in Italy as in Europe as a whole, a period when movements for both
reform and counter-reform reflected and affected shifting religious
sensibilities. Cinquecento culture was profoundly shaped by these
religious currents, from the reform poetry of the 1530s and early
1540s, to the efforts of Tridentine theologians later in the
century to renew Catholic orthodoxy across cultural life. This
interdisciplinary volume offers a carefully balanced collection of
essays by leading international scholars in the fields of Italian
Renaissance literature, music, history and history of art,
addressing the fertile question of the relationship between
religious change and shifting cultural forms in sixteenth-century
Italy. The contributors to this volume are throughout concerned to
demonstrate how a full understanding of Cinquecento religious
culture might be found as much in the details of the relationship
between cultural and religious developments, as in any grand
narrative of the period. The essays range from the art of Cosimo
I's Florence, to the music of the Confraternities of Rome; from the
private circulation of religious literature in manuscript form, to
the public performances of musical laude in Florence and Tuscany;
from the art of Titian and Tintoretto to the religious poetry of
Vittoria Colonna and Torquato Tasso. The volume speaks of a
Cinquecento in which religious culture was not always at ease with
itself and the broader changes around it, but was nonetheless
vibrant and plural. Taken together, this new and ground-breaking
research makes a major contribution to the development of a more
nuanced understanding of cultural responses to a crucial period of
reform and counter-reform, both within Italy and beyond.
