1514—Rome, Italy

Cardinal Giulio writes, “There arrived here [in Rome] the music of pipers and trombone players from Cesena, but I don’t believe it is of outstanding quality; I have the impression that one calls there [in Florence] good music the one that costs little, and it seems to me that his Excellency does not enjoy it as does the Pope” (Lowinsky, The Medici Codex 33).
