Giovanni de 'Bardis Scheffel at the Accademia della Crusca

Giovanni Maria de 'Bardi, Conte di Vernio (born February 5, 1534 in Florence , † 1612 in Rome ) was an Italian soldier , composer and poet .

Life

Giovanni Bardi comes from the Florentine banking family Bardi . From around 1575 until 1592, when he moved from Florence to Rome, he was a patron , writer and musician who directed the musical and poetic scholarly circle of Florentine Camerata , or "Camerata" for short. Jacopo Corsi (1561–1602) took over this function. De 'Bardi's predilection was monody , a new solo style of singing that prepared the opera . He composed a set of 1589 for the wedding of Ferdinando I de 'Medici to Christine of Lorraine in Florence listed intermedia for La pellegrina and was also responsible for the overall topic.

He wrote the treatise Discorso sopra la musica antica e 'cantar bene , which was probably written before 1590 . It was printed in Florence in 1763.

He also published a treatise on the Calcio Storico in 1580 , an early form of football, which he dedicated to Francesco I de 'Medici . In this book, the new thinking of the Renaissance in physical exercises becomes clear, since the result is now quantifiable (“decide goals”) and it does not depend on the appearance or the social rank of the players.
