Italian
musical culture in XVII is deeply affected by 'spanish fashion': we can see
this influence in the wide diffusion of the 'chitarriglia alla spagnola'
and in the very large use made by italian composers of dance and non-dance
music like passacaglie, ciaccone, sarabande 'alla vera maniera spagnola'
(in the true spanish fashion)
Program made for the Real Collegio de España in Bologna
