Rimè agl' illustrissimi signori Francesco Zorli bagnacavallese ed Elisabetta Renati cotignolese per le loro nozze sequite nel carnovale del MDCCIL,

Bookseller Notes

A good copy of this apparently unrecorded volume of verses produced for the wedding of Francesco Zorli, of Bagnocavallo near Ravenna, and Elisabetta Renati, of Cotignola (the neighbouring village), during Carnival of 1749. With fifteen poems (mostly sonnets), including verses by Florentine nobleman Francesco Panciatichi, this is a lavish souvenir production, reflecting the family's noble status.The publishers Ballanti e compagni were active in Faenza for much of the eighteenth century, specialising in commemorative volumes for religious festivals, weddings, and similar events. Lorenzo Zanotti, a member of the Accademia degli Arcadi who translated the Greek epigrams in the present volume, had the previous year published a poem with Ballanti to mark the first mass of one of his relations as a priest in the nearby village of Filetto.Not in OCLC or LibraryHub.
