Michelangelo Buonarroti il Giovane (1568-1647), was an influential protagonist in the literary and musical circles of late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century Italy, producing numerous theatrical spectacles for the Medici court. He also left a substantial collection of unpublished poetry consisting of occasional and panegyric poetry addressed to famous historical figures, lyric poetry and poesia per musica. Placing the collection in the wider tradition of Seicento Italian poetry and literary criticism, this study also explores its relation to contemporary musical developments.
