 | | Only Cardinal Bentivoglio seems to have been wildly enthusiastic about all aspects of the production, praising the scenery, the machines, the music, and the vivid impression made by the audience, including the truly regal Maria de Medici. |
 | | Guido Bentivoglios account (from Memorie del Cardinal Bentivoglio [Milan: Società tipografica dei classici italiani, 1807]) is given, along with others, in Warren Kirkendale, The Court Musicians in Florence during the Principate of the Medici, with a Reconstruction of the Artistic Establishment, Historiae Musicae Cultores Biblioteca 61 (Florence: L. Olschki, 1993), 13740. |
 | | Cardinal Bentivoglio referred alleccellenza degli intramezzi delle macchine, de canti, de suoni, e altri mille trattenimenti che del continuo rapivano il teatro in ammirazione (Kirkendale, The Court Musicians in Florence, 138), but here he may be using the term in the sense not of intermedi but of side-dishes in a banquet. |
