The pageant and entertainments, culminating in a tournament, officially celebrated the second marriage of FRANCESCO I of Tuscany (1541-1587), following the death of his first wife Joanna of Austria, to his long-time mistress, BIANCA CAPPELLO of Venice (1548-1587), which had been secretly concluded the year before the announcement and these festivities. The plates document the progress of the spectacle, the courtyard of the Palazzo Pitti (with a cartouche stating the three Florentine artists' names), the elaborately decorated competing carriages and galleys, machinery, and costumed actors. The judges awarded the first prize to the Marittima Pompa show (plate N). The day before the great Sbarra the coronation of the new Grand Duchess had taken place in the Sala del Consiglio. A full account of the events is given by A.M. Nagler, Theatre Festivals of the Medici (Yale UP 1964) ch. 4.
