This was the moment, too, when—to take one instance only among many—the Ex-Queen of Cyprus, the noble Venetian Caterina Cornaro, held her little court at Asolo, where, in accordance with the spirit of the moment, the chief discourse was ever of love. In that reposeful kingdom, which could in miniature offer to Caterina's courtiers all the pomp and charm without the drawbacks of sovereignty, Pietro Bembo wrote for "Madonna Lucretia Estense Borgia Duchessa illustrissima di Ferrara," and caused to be printed by Aldus Manutius, the leaflets which, under the title Gli Asolani, ne' quali si ragiona d' amore,[8] soon became a famous book in Italy.

I started Gli Asolani as a stub and I rated it stub because it contains just a lead and a rough and incomplete structure section. Weaknesses: Structure and personages section needs expanding - Kidwell's biography has more on: the dialogue's setting, its Dante-derived introduction, Pietro's supposed identifcation with the character Perottino, and a longer summary of Lavinello's arguments. It is also missing commentary by Pietro's critics. -Wikianon (talk) 20:57, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
