[…] Vede Tancredi in maggior copia il sangue del suo nemico, e sé non tanto offeso. Ne gode e superbisce. Oh nostra folle mente ch’ogn’aura di fortuna estolle!

Misero, di che godi? Oh quanto mesti fiano i trionfi ed infelice il vanto! Gli occhi tuoi pagheran (se in vita resti) di quel sangue ogni stilla un mar di pianto. […]

Torquato Tasso, Gerusalemme Liberata, XII, 58-59 (1581)

Going to Naples and Sorrento - on an Italian opera trail.

Watching Mount Vesuvius from Sorrento, across the Bay of Naples, I thought of Pliny the Younger (born 61 AD), as you do, who wrote a detailed description of the catastrophic eruption of the volcano (79 AD) that killed his uncle, the great Roman naturalist, Pliny the Elder, who sailed into the disaster because he was interested in the science of volcanoes. Pliny the younger watched the destruction…

La Gerusalemme liberata by Fabio Fabbi

Gerusalemme liberata, (“Jerusalem Liberated”) heroic epic poem in ottava rima, the masterpiece of Torquato Tasso. He completed it in 1575 and then spent several years revising it. While he was incarcerated in the asylum of Santa Anna, part of the poem was published without his knowledge as Il Goffredo; he published the complete epic in 1581. It was published in English as Jerusalem Delivered. Gerusalemme liberata tells of the Christian army led by Godfrey of Bouillon during the last months of the First Crusade, which recovered Jerusalem from the Turks in 1099.

Description

First exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1772, this depiction of the story of Rinaldo and Armida is taken from Torquato Tasso’s Gerusalemme Liberata (1580), a poetic account of the First Crusade. Rinaldo was a handsome prince, and Armida was a beautiful sorceress sent by the devil to disrupt the crusaders. Armida bewitches Rinaldo but falls in love with him instead, and the pair explore their amorous adventures. The couple is shown at the moment when Rinaldo’s fellow crusaders discover his whereabouts and prepare to rescue him from his enchantment and distractions of love.
