A quick survey of the printed books by the main madrigal composers of the last quarter of the century bears out this assertion.

This proves to be closer to the authorized collections of poems from Ferrarese academies and by the principle Ferrarese poets of the time, Torquato Tasso and Battista Guarini. Luzzaschi’s Third book, in other terms, will be presented as a mini-canzoniere dedicated to Margherita, centered around a single poetic theme, and ordered internally by groups linked together both by poetic topics and musical detail.
