En este artículo se presentan los retratos en pintura de tres virtuosos, protagonistas de la escena teatral del siglo XVII en Italia, que se han localizado en colecciones madrileñas. Se trata de los retratos del compositor Alessandro Scarlatti, del famosos castratto Matteo Sassano –Matteuccio- y del archilaudista Petruccio –que posiblemente pueda identificarse con Pietro Ugolino-. La serie, documentada en las colecciones del X conde de Santisteban, don Francisco de Benavides -virrey de Nápoles entre 1688 y 1696- se completaba con la efigie del ingeniero y escenógrafo Philip Schor, cuyo retrato se encuentra todavía en paradero desconocido. La presencia de estas pinturas en España en 1697, al regreso del conde de Santisteban a Madrid, coincide con un proceso de renovación a la italiana a nivel artístico y musical en la corte madrileña durante los últimos años del reinado de Carlos II. Este hecho adelantaría en cierto modo el interés en los círculos de la corte por la música del compositor palermitano antes de la llegada de los Borbones. Así mismo, el hallazgo de estas imágenes contribuye a completar el conocimiento iconográfico que se tiene de los protagonistas de la escena musical de finales del siglo XVII en Italia.

Today’s concert takes its point of departure from Tasso’s epic La Gerusalemme liberata: from its tales of Erminia amongst the shepherds, and her tears over what she believes to be the body of Tancredi; the pagan warrior Clorinda, who saves the Christians Sofronia and Olindo, about to be burnt at the stake; the maga Armida, who came upon the sleeping knight Rinaldo in her enchanted garden, and becomes enamoured of him, but is abandoned soon after their idyll. Composers have drawn on Tassos’ epic for their inspiration from even before the work was published in its authorized form. Since the late 16th century the epic has been an inexhaustible source of texts and themes for madrigals, monodies, chamber cantatas and operas - for works composed until even as late as our own time. But in today's concert we will focus on the music which was composed in Italy within the first five decades subsequent to its publication, from the first composer known to have set its ottave - the Flemish Giaches de Wert, employed at the court of Mantua, who had personal contact with Tasso - to the great masters of the Italian Baroque, Monteverdi, Marini and Mazzocchi, who have left us works of outstanding beauty and interest. One need only think of Monteverdi’s innovative Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda, or Marini’s enchanting La Bella Erminia, with its echo lament, to perceive the importance of this repertoire. That there is a particular focus on the Roman composers of the early Baroque period in today’s concert is by no means a coincidence, for it is intended as a personal, affectionate and grateful homage to the director of Villa I Tatti, Joseph Connors, whose passion for music of the Renaissance and Baroque periods has led him to establish the series of biennial concerts that present early music in the limonaia, to the great joy of our Florentine and international public. Music has never flowered at I Tatti so rigorously as in these last eight years.
