Description
"Il poema, in 20 canti in ottave, e la maggiore e forse la migliore opera del celebre poeta contadino." (Vinciana).
Il frontespizio ed il ritratto del Peri sono incisioni in rame di Jacques Callot: "To provide a book with the portrait of the author or the person to whom it was dedicated, surrounded by a rich allegorical and emblematic frame, was a Baroque custom. Callot designed several of these portraits. The most charming is that of Giovanni Domenico Peri, heading his book Fiesole distrutta, published in 1619. Peri was a maître populaire, a Douanier Rousseau of poetry, a simple peasant from Arcidosso who, under the influence of Ariosto and Tasso, wrote verses dedicated to the Grand Duke Cosimo, his Maecenas. Callot surrounded the effigy with the implements of the author s calling: hay-forks, rakes, shovels, baskets, a ploughshare, and two stately oxen. The hub of the wheel, cleverly devised, serves as an inkstand" (Benesch). Moreni II, 175. Vinciana 2831. Olschki, Choix, 18610. Belloni, Storia letteraria d'Italia: Il Seicento, pp. 141-42.
