Alessandro Luzio, “Amarilli Etrusca”
Luzio summarizes the correspondence between Teresa Bandettini (Amarilli Etrusca) and the Abbot Saverio Bettinelli. Bandettini’s letters describe her poetry and performances in glowing terms, but the critic finds her work mediocre. While Luzio admires the fact that she continued to perform her poetry to support her family financially, her verses remain boring and tiresome.
