This volume collects the sonnets and canzoni of Matteo Maria Boiardo, Count of Scandiano, a celebrated poet of the Italian Renaissance. Boiardo's works are known for their lyrical beauty and their reflection of the cultural and intellectual currents of his time. This edition, published in 1845, offers readers a glimpse into the rich literary heritage of Italy. His most famous work, the unfinished chivalric romance 'Orlando Innamorato', blends Arthurian and Carolingian legends, and this volume showcases his mastery of shorter poetic forms.
The sonnets and canzoni included here explore themes of love, nature, and the human condition, rendered in Boiardo's elegant and expressive style. This collection provides valuable insight into the literary landscape of the Renaissance and the enduring appeal of classical Italian poetry.
