Michelangelo Buonarroti the Younger
After the wedding of Marie de' Medici and Henry IV of France in 1600, Buonarroti published a "Description" of the banquet and was soon commissioned to write court entertainments: "Il natal d'Ercole" (1605), "Il giudizio di Paride" (for the wedding of Cosimo II and Maria Maddalena,1608, music by Jacopo Peri), "La Tancia" (1611) and "Balletto della Cortesia" (1614). In 1612 he began construction of a gallery (now the Casa Buonarroti) on the Via Ghibellino dedicated to his famous relative and commissioned numerous artists to paint murals . During this period his name became linked with Francesca Caccini, who composed the music for "La Tancia", the "Balletto" and "La Fiera"
