Introducing the Renaissance Playwright and Her Pastoral Drama. Rediscovered in 2010, this late Renaissance play was written by the multi-talented singer, musician, and poet Leonora Bernardi Belatti of Lucca (1559-1616), famous in her day but now almost entirely forgotten. Clorilli offers a fresh and witty take on the courtly genre of pastoral drama, made fashionable by Torquato Tasso’s Aminta (1573). Evidence suggests that it was first performed at one of the Medici family's Florentine villas in the early 1590s.
