Tullia d’Aragona: Two New Sonnets
View through CrossRef
This article provides a transcription and translation of two new autograph sonnets of Tullia d'Aragona (1505/10-1556), dedicated to members of the Colonna family of Rome, which were recently discovered in the Archivio Colonna (Subiaco).The poems share themes and topoi typical of the poet's work--fame and immortality through verse, the threat of cruel fortune--and likely date from a later period of her career.Their dedications suggest a connection to Giovanna d'Aragona Colonna's mid-century efforts, both literary and otherwise, to rehabilitate the Colonna family from political disgrace, and particularly to advance her son Marcantonio Colonna's career.
