By examining the broader concept of cultural clientelism in the early modern process of cultural dissemination, Janie Cole explores the multifaceted roles adopted by Michelangelo Buonarroti il Giovane at Italy’s princely courts (primarily the Medici court), his significant contribution to Florentine musical spectacle and literature in his collaborations with major composers, and his critical role as a cultural broker in an intricate world of shifting power dynamics during the late Renaissance and early Baroque periods.
