The collection of madrigals Il Fior novello by Giovanni Maroni is an interesting link between different figures in Italian literature and some players of the political events of the late Sixteenth century. Il Fior novello was in fact published in 1596 in Venice by Ricciardo Amadino and is dedicated to the young Marchese Ambrogio Spinola, the governor of Milan at the time when the events narrated in the Promessi Sposi by Alessandro Manzoni took place. Maroni’s work was forgotten, and after three centuries attracted the interest of Gabriele d'Annunzio during his visit to the Ferrara which took place in November 1898. There are numerous unresolved questions opened by this book: the biography of the author, the authorship of the texts and their poetic object. The present volume proposes, together with the introductory study, a modern transcription, according to rigorous and up-to-date ecdotic criteria, but attentive to editorial solutions that allow easy reading to those who want to actualize their content today in a live performance.
La raccolta di madrigali Il Fior novello di Giovanni Maroni costituisce un interessante elemento di collegamento tra diverse figure della letteratura italiana e alcuni protagonisti delle vicende politiche di fine Cinquecento. Il Fior novello è stato infatti pubblicato nel 1596 a Venezia da Ricciardo Amadino ed è dedicato al giovane marchese Ambrogio Spinola, il governatore di Milano all’epoca in cui si svolsero i fatti narrati nei Promessi Sposi di Alessandro Manzoni. L’opera, dimenticata per secoli, attirò l’interesse di Gabriele d’Annunzio durante la sua visita alla città estense avvenuta nel novembre 1898. Numerosi sono gli interrogativi irrisolti aperti da questo libro: le vicende biografiche dell’autore, la paternità dei testi messi in musica e il loro oggetto poetico. Il presente volume propone, insieme allo studio introduttivo, una trascrizione moderna, secondo criteri ecdotici rigorosi e aggiornati, attenta però a soluzioni editoriali che ne consentano l’agevole lettura a chi voglia attualizzarne oggi il contenuto in un’esecuzione dal vivo. Lo stesso formato di stampa è stato scelto a questo scopo.
