Abstract: Abstract For a young man growing up in northern Italy in the latter half of the sixteenth century, life must have been full of exciting career choices. That great cultural movement known to history as the Renaissance had already been underway among the Italian city states for over 200 years, and had spawned some of the greatest painters and sculptors who ever lived, as well as three of the greatest poets: Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio. Of the humanities, only music had been relatively neglected, but our young man’s family were doing their best to remedy that omission; his father was a famous lute player, much in demand in the princely courts of Europe, and one of his brothers would go on to become an even more famous musician, as well as a composer.
