Notes

Orlandi’s canzone summarizes the content of the Triumphi. In the second stanza Orlandi states that he will illustrate the five subjects of Petrarch’s work (‘ti cantero lisuo cinq[ue] subiecti’). Precise references are made to Petrarch’s work, with a particular focus on the mythological figures (such as Jupiter, Mars, Proserpina) mentioned in the Triumphi.
