===========================================================

One of the most remarkable facts at the beginning of decimosesto century and certainly 
the appearance of the courtesan; figure worthy of consideration and review but had not 
anco a historic deal to you carefully and jealously, and diseppellendo from libraries 
and archivii many documents that relate dasse accomplished this page of history which 
is not among the last of our renaissance. The name of courtesan certainly connects to 
the history of humanism, but when, where and how was the principle? This question has 
no answer yet secure. Arturo Graf, who occupy the last question with quell'acume criticism 
and an abundance of well-known erudition, hesitate to give a decisive opinion, while 
awaiting him that new studies and documents via sketch out more extensive and safer to 
define that point. 

The development of courtesan produced by the social revolution that took place during 
the Renaissance, adapted to the new regime that made life hard and then less servile 
laws costume is certainly refute the claim that the five hundred was the age of most 
fruitful abhorrent vizii, el'amor patico, born in times of increased crop and spread 
on a large scale in the Middle Ages, is to combat this development cortigianeria and 
civil laws of almost all states Italians, while the pulpit thundering harsh and threatening 
voice San Bernardino and Savonarola, the same that Ariosto was not immune states that 
in 1518 the defect was restricted to a few humanists. And then dispute the theory of 
having strong and strenuous samples; of free between free discusses Spur Spurs in the 
dialogue of love where introduces to speak Tullia of Aragon and Bernardo rate, lovers, 
and having forced to separate the latter go to Salerno; dell'amor Platonic, the first 
Bembo and Castiglione, then Piccolomini, who said it was "a desire to be united with 
the spirit of what beautiful beloved" contrast to that yearns only possession of the body. 
All'amore absolutely free, which was useless to insist after the intense activity dell'Aretino 
are infirmate almost all the lyrics of courtesans of five hundred; reflect the environment 
in which they were created, the cortigianeria in these places where the crop was more vast 
and spread from papal court to that of the Medicis, from Venice to Siena. 

The renaissance, cracked the embankments that opponevansi in middle age crop of women, 
led to two extremes differ materially who disputarono the field for almost the entire 
century decimosesto the crop serious and positive on the one hand, the license on the 
other produced it meant freedom from evil, then led to inevitable antithesis cloistered 
education. This antithesis passed documents Castiglione and Garzoni, the first, attributing 
the statement to Bembo poetic love and transporting the reader in the Court of Urbino, 
where the letters and the arts were traditionally appalesa by mouth of Giuliano de Medici, 
whose consort Filiberta was sung model of feminine virtue, "the culture of women must 
rassomigliare to that, where she and equal. in different branches of science and art it 
must have the necessary knowledge to talk about intelligence and with hindsight, even 
when they are not professed. woman must be paid in the literature, having knowledge of 
fine arts, be skilled in the art of dance and dress, no less able to prevent this from 
which one can assume vanity and lightness, that what shows lack of taste. his conversation, 
serious and the ridiculous, must be suitable for convenience de 'cases, it should never 
speak loudly and iscostumatezza, with malice and so offend must corrispon [spon] ing his 
condition with modesty and convenient ways, and where required, to those who are usually 
his company. In its present and behavior is graceful senz'affettazione. its moral quality, 
honesty and virtue must be domestic agree with the intellectuals. Debb'esser caste, but 
courteous: witty but discreet, for every word free goddesses not make a face too severe. 
know governar home and the substance and guidar education of the children. not trying 
d 'imitar man in body exercises, which are suited to him and he is richieggono. Throughout 
his being in posture, and in going to be, in speech, show grace, sweetness and women not 
rassomigli man ". And these lessons followed women of illustrious family, which Eleonora 
of Aragon, Isabella d'Este, Ippolita Sforza, Elisabetta Gonzaga, and the city where the 
item bourgeois often got the power and supremacy remains the memory of Antonia Of Flea 
and Lorenza Tornabuoni. 

 The high and cultured environment in which the courtesan lived in five hundred could 
 not affect it and push it to compete with women honest, often coltissime; are in fact 
 in all our literary stories, close to the names of those who were two big Victory Column 
 and Veronica Gambara, two courtesans: Veronica Franco and Tullia of Aragon, and though 
 their costumes for very long, certainly not on the merits letterarii. Given this culture 
 in honest woman had the courtesan necessarily required to be equal if not superior intelligence 
 have lively, beautiful and pleasant voice, be skilled in sound and dance teacher short 
 in all those arts that, long or scrolls were then, strange to consider highly biasimate 
 by men such as Aretino and Garzoni, which define those qualities likely only attract and 
 seduce. "To think that the birth of songs, sounds, dance, games, holidays, vegghie, concerts, 
 diporti them, if not quell'intento to have the applause, trade, competition disturbs unhappy 
 these lovers, kidnapped by those angelic voices and soprane, attracted by the divine sounds 
 of arpicordi and large, crazy in those states and in those laps so their attractive, 
 consumed in those games sfarzevoli, rilegrati in those celebrations giulive, asleep in 
 those vegghie pilgrims plunged in those conviti of Venus, Bacchus, dead in the middle of 
 those sweet diporti, prisons and remain slaves of lor false and insidious love? "And 
 since we are with the Garzoni, who leave the cortigianeria the best evidence, we can 
 not by must mention another particularly noteworthy that he gives us the medium and 
 concerns, which must be wholly worthy of the courtesan who had chosen, serves to shed 
 light in that sad and still dark. "Imitate the grammatico in writing letters amorous 
 so well made and so well apuntate that make wonder, in dettar politamente, explain 
 galantemente, nell'esprimer secretamente his thoughts ... is a poet when describing 
 cases acerbi with piety of words, the facts cheerful heart with joy ... the door seco 
 sonnets of Petrarch, the rhymes of the Blind of Ascoli, the Arcadia of Sannazaro, 
 madrigals of Parabosco, Furioso, Amadigi, Anguillara, Dessert, Tasso, and above all 
 the strambotti of Olympus from Sassoferrato, as more easy, are its devotees for every 
 occasion ... It brings back some sonnet in a madrigal in hand, a sestina gallant, a song 
 polita , with a verse sound, with a stil serious, fruitful talk with tropi elegant, with 
 figures speak for themselves, with terse words with a dir limato, par that Bembo, or Caro, 
 or Veniero, or Gorellini l 'have done then, and it shows the diva with letters of gold, 
 precious characters; states with sweetness, uttered with soavita, says with so, the intention 
 is discovered, it gave way, and it shows the late poet ... With music often beloved ears 
 of the young, mollifica the mind of every lascivia, ruina costumes, disperses the honest, 
 inflames the alma of burning love, incende the spirits of carnal lust; while cantan 
 complaints, disperazioni, lies, rooms and terzetti, songs, villanelle, jokes, and you 
 tap the zither, or car, a loving battle, a kind Bergamo, in a polite Florentine, a 
 gagliarda polita, a graceful Moorish, and slowly s'invita to dances and dances, where 
 tatti go again, the kisses are forward words scerete .... This prosecutor is not love 
 a guy he quite curious and interesting?
