This is the first dedicated study of the musical patronage of Roman
baronial families in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries.
Patronage - the support of a person or institution and their work
by a patron - in Renaissance society was the basis of a complex
network of familial and political relationships between clients and
patrons, whose ideas, values, and norms of behavior were shared
with the collective. Bringing to light new archival documentation,
this book examines the intricate network of patronage
interrelationships in Rome. Unlike other Italian cities where
political control was monocentric and exercised by single rulers,
sources of patronage in Rome comprised a multiplicity of courts and
potential patrons, which included the pope, high prelates, nobles
and foreign diplomats. Morucci uses archival records, and the
correspondence of the Orsini and Colonna families in particular, to
investigate the local activity and circulation of musicians and the
cultivation of music within the broader civic network of Roman
aristocratic families over the period. The author also shows that
the familial union of the Medici and Orsini families established a
bidirectional network for artistic exchange outside of the Eternal
City, and that the Orsini-Colonna circle represented a musical
bridge between Naples, Rome, and Florence.
