Description
Famous ballet and baroque court celebration, created by the cultured man of letters and court choreographer Filippo San Martino d'Agliè. The party was lavishly celebrated and danced at the Castello di Rivoli on February 10, 1645, on the occasion of the thirty-ninth birthday of the Duchess Regent of Savoy, Christine of France (historically known as the first Madame Royale). The first part of the party took place in four separate rooms of the Savoy residence, set up to visually represent the different provinces of the Duchy of Savoy. The guests moved from one room to the other with each change of culinary course thanks to the use of ingenious rotating and rotating tables. The second part included the actual ballet. It was performed by the very young Duke Charles Emmanuel II of Savoy (then eleven years old), by Filippo d'Agliè himself, and by twenty-three other noble courtiers. Printed by A
