Stigliani was the author of the epic Il Mondo nuovo , the first 20 songs of which came out in 1617 and were modeled on the Hellenistic epic Aithiopiká by the Greek writer Heliodoros . Stigliani published the final version in 1628 with a length of 34 chants, which were brought out by Mascardi in Rome. In Stigliani's “Poema” two storylines can be distinguished from each other: One has a warlike-heroic character and, similar to a crusade description, primarily tells the story of the conquest, while the actual “scoperta” is less considered. The second storyline, which repeatedly mixes with the narrative of the conquest, is about adventures and love stories. It shows novel-like features in the tradition of Ariost's Orlando furioso and other chivalric novels . He also uses exotic and wonderful elements. In doing so, he adopts elements from different traditions.

Stigliani was also the author of Dello occhiale (1627), an astute, destructive parodic analysis of Giambattista Marino's Adone , which he accuses of a lack of unity, excessive imagery and violation of the rules of good taste. Stigliani therefore criticizes Adone as a loose series of madrigals (“poema di madrigali”) and thus coined a cliché that has persisted in literary historiography to this day.

Stigliani's work Rime, distinte in otto libri , published in Venice in 1605, was put on the index by decree of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith of November 18, 1605 due to alleged obscenity .
