Introductory note
Given the complexity of, as a matter of brevity I had to make several cuts; the alternative would have rather been to publish the post in at least three times. So I just touched on issues fundamental to the understanding of treatment, for example, how to make friends with Pietro Bembo, Vittoria Colonna, Bernardo Tasso, Isabella d'Este, or brilliant The meetings with the statuary Francis I, and the charismatic Charles V or correspondence with the various popes of the time. Meeting with Ludovico Ariosto I mentioned in this post . Neglect even trade punzecchianti had with Pietro Aretino ; teased and tamed in turn by Gambara. In the final round of the poet, that of religion, and of abandoning the Catholic faith, the public only after the conclusion of a poem: the abundance and complexity of historical events of that period, it is my intention to come back.
-----------
In a time when poetry was the prerogative of men only, and reserved for nobles, the Countess of Correggio and the Marchioness of Pescara, as women, were two significant exceptions. Almost the same age, Veronica Gambara was born in 1485, Victoria Column in 1490, had totally different experiences of marriage, whose feelings poured brightly into poetry: an exhilarating experience for the countess and happy, for the Marquise tormented and tormenting. The
Gambara, raised in a stimulating environment for a writer, he began to compose verses as a child, then art, growing up, she grew even useful.
In adulthood, relying on letters and poems on the setting of poetry, has sought, by means of it, even to settle disputes outside the kingdom, which has to govern. Although she never wrote with the intention of being then publish their private letters, the other, it is common practice time, corresponded in a pompous and refined, with the specific aim that their private correspondence would then become the object of printing. Just took the reins of Correggio, while in the waters of the lake, to Musso, Brianza and Milan were held in all the events linked to bloody well Medeghino told here, and the Romagna had just been shaken by the imperious exploits of Valentino in the small kingdom of Correggio, located in the middle of the two, the Countess Gambara ruled the small county in a manner totally different than those two, with bland use of weapons or force. In fact, during the 32 years of his government, in the county was recorded only one death sentence, and Remember to use of force and weapons in 1526 when, to defend itself from eight hundred soldiers, commanded by Fabrizio Maramaldo , it was necessary to mobilize all citizens, inviting them to take up arms. The eight hundred soldiers were then driven out, but still leave behind her death, hunger, desolation and pestilence.
Veronica Gambara was lazy nature, she loved good food, and was stout of build, has been also why I had some difficulty in getting married, so he had to take his mother, who asked for help in this regard to the family of origin, Pio di Carpi. And it was perhaps also for her that her obesity is not no picture, despite Antonio Allegri, called Correggio , was the official painter of the house Gambara. He had twenty-four, and was a great relief to her when they were married, first, by proxy, with nearly fifty Giberto X Correggio. This was also the widower of Violante of Pico della Mirandola , by whom he had two daughters and, as mentioned, was also related to the bride's mother for her, Alda Pio of Carpi. Contrary to what one might think, given the strong difference in age, Veronica was the turning point of life and happiness, even if short-lived, it was not a widow after dieci anni di matrimonio. Ciò non di meno il loro fu un matrimonio stabile e reso felice dalla nascita di due figli, che sarebbero potuti diventare di più, se un intervento chirurgico, resosi necessario per salvarle la vita, la privò del piacere di diventare madre ancora. Al contrario dell'amica Vittoria Colonna, infelice per quel marito giovane e forte, ma sempre in giro per il mondo in cerca di battaglie e di femmine, il marito di Veronica, ormai non più giovane nè forte, aveva deposto le armi ed aveva dedicato alla moglie ed alla prole il resto dei suoi anni. Il matrimonio per procura, senza che i due non si erano forse mai visti prima, era avvenuto il 6 ottobre 1518, una ricorrenza che la poetessa ricorderà sempre, anche e soprattutto in the 32 years of widowhood. Veronica had been dazzled by his appearance at first sight, so that later wrote "Beauty Adonis / gives in to his comparison." of the same tenor of these verses is the following poignant song, which, presumably, composed during the marriage by proxy of the future, when perhaps they had not yet seen.
Then that 's my fate, fateful
still loves you and He wants me while I long for you, pity in his breast That
Amor
What inspires you agree to my grief and deadly serious
E face 'Your wish is the same
A's ardent love my desires;
then grows as does pain and torment
that more than every other well is sweet 's harm.
And if this grace implore, my spotless sun,
No more happy and glorious state
Fortune gave love in the world ever.
And how to back troubles and woe
Patito has the heart, wherefore he grieved and hurt, will call
sweet, and he always blessed.

In the spring of 1509, the couple are in Naples, where, in the Cathedral of Amalfi, will celebrate the religious wedding ceremony. During that trip Veronica was able to revise his friend Bernardo Tasso, Torquato future father of the famous, known when he was in Ferrara in the service of the Este family. With him, young, there was an intense exchange of letters in slang and poetic verses. For business reasons, as we would say today, Bernardo had moved to Salerno.
as the rate, even Pietro Bembo was, and will be again, after the widow, the mentor's favorite Veronica, during the years of happy marriage will put a little aside
. In that period it was fashionable jesting imitation of Petrarch, but it was not by all, and above all it was male prerogative: the women were reserved for the family caregiver. Vittoria Colonna and Veronica Gambara but broke that taboo.
In 1509, Veronica had left his birthplace in Brescia at a time of Emilia. She was married by proxy the previous October with the Count Giberto X, Lord of the tiny kingdom of Correggio.
In 1509, Veronica had left his birthplace in Brescia at a time of Emilia. She was married by proxy the previous October with the Count Giberto X, Lord of the tiny kingdom of Correggio.
Of that period have been found only poems dedicated to her husband, and like this: "words / Sweets to hear of his beautiful fire burning . It also seems that in the meantime she had forgotten even the closest friends of Bembo, in particular. The Count Giberto died August 26, 1518, and Veronica, easy to suppose at the height of desperation, he wrote,
That node where my blessed fate,
order of the heavens, and shook legommi,
broke up with my pain and severe discinse
That cruel that 'the world calls death.
It was the grief so heavy and strong,
all my pleasures at once extinguished;
And if that reason is not yet won at last,
I Made my day and shorter and shorter.
But the subject only in part not to go too far
that when the beautiful face
shines over every shining star,
has eased the pain, that genius or art Let it not
could, hoping to heaven
The alma see besides the beautiful beautiful.
This leaves a widow at the age of 33 years, did not marry again, and kept the total mourning for the rest of life. His body was showing only her face. He even painted a black cab, tow only horse making blacks or black, also decorate the room and the bed made of black listed forever in mourning. In the early days of widowhood, she also thought likely to commit suicide, but maybe it was the thought of the two children still at an early age to distract from the ugly idea. And so it was waiting for their age, took over the reins of the small kingdom, fulfilling the task with determination and skill unusual for a woman of those times. The vicissitudes of life, then brought their children to deal with anything, becoming a better leader, and the less a cardinal. He touched so Veronica to govern the kingdom for over three decades in which he lived. And so the years 1519 to 1532 most of them devoted to politics and foreign policy in particular. He wrote in prose, or joking, Francis I and Charles V. Francis I they admire 
ava look statuesque, instead of Charles V great charisma. The mutual admiration between the Countess of Correggio and the Emperor was such that these, in its three come to Bologna, Twice he wanted to move from Correggio, hosted by the citizens with honor and Gambara home.
ava look statuesque, instead of Charles V great charisma. The mutual admiration between the Countess of Correggio and the Emperor was such that these, in its three come to Bologna, Twice he wanted to move from Correggio, hosted by the citizens with honor and Gambara home. He composed mottoes and sonnets and letters for all and many lost, but several have survived, including by providing valuable evidence on the habits and lifestyles of the time, and a rich testimony to the evolution of our language that was slowly release from the Latin writings of formality. The great respect and awe for Charles V had moved in a sonnet he composed in 1526, after the Madrid peace agreement signed between the two kings. With that peace treaty, Veronica had deluded that finally would come to the universal peace so much desired by all. This is sonnet
Beating heart wiser and more Re alter,
Legari with arms and dissolve with peace, freedom and Tor
Give him when you like,
be sweet to the humble, the proud bitter;
What
Pajan false APPO de 'your true
honors others, that the face of virtue
Viva burning in you, that you still regret the error De
the shadow and the thoughts of vice;
born, Lord, to unite With the strong mind
the eternal wish, to little respect, that it divests its value
the unholy luck.
order will be your first
glory on earth and the heaven over each soul,
That honor, this ardent love.
In July 1532, returning Verola in possession of his family home, made a return trip to his native land. There was missing for over twenty years and the impression was that combined with emotion, he composed the following poem in his honor, this clearly Petrarchan:
With that desire to be born hot soles
in the breast of those who return, loving , absent
vague eyes to see, and the words
Sweets to hear of his beautiful fire burning
With that, just you, the world's shores alone,
Fresc'acque, pleasant hill, and you, more powerful
d ' other ch'l intended only going around,
Beautiful and happy in cities, to see come back.
Hi, my dear homeland, and you, happy
so loved by heaven, rich country,
What a lovely soul like a phoenix, Monsters
the high value clear and obvious;
Nature, only you and pious mother nurse,
He's done a thousand more serious offenses,
stripping them of what they had to make good
you courteous and large gift.
In "Fresc'acque, pleasant hill," we see clearly the influence of Clear, fresh and sweet waters .
From then on, and then from 1532 to 1540, committing itself to a poetry committed almost abhors frivolous verses written in youth. In the sonnet that follows describes in fact all the regret and disappointment in his youth have been lost in those "silly rhymes." And it's clear reference to when he wrote motets for the buffoon Baron, Gonzaga court, or popular songs for Isabella d'Este Gonzaga, a young man who dabbled in pop songs, and favored the verses composed by Veronica. So, from that for 1532 the Poetry Gambara Veronica has become a very serious thing, and write, among his many compositions:
While vague and youthful thoughts
I was brought up, or fear, now hoping
Crying or sad, and now happy singing
From desire fought or false, or true,
sfogai pitiful accents, and serious
The concepts of the body, often loving
His evil far more than 'the good looking, sadly
consumed the entire day.
Or that of other thoughts, and desires of other Pasco
the mind, to the already expensive place I
rhymes, and style, eternal silence.

And if then delirious, those first
Nonsense understood, now the regret remains
revealing the guilt, the grief inside.
In the final part of his life (1540-1550) noted the need to abandon Veronica religion. This is the period mentioned the introduction, on which we will return. I reprint here his only significant sonnet
Ite, false thoughts, and vain hope,
Blind greedy desires, burning desires;
Go, burning sighs, bitter pangs,
Companions always my eternal punishment;
Ite, sweet memories, bitter chains
the heart that even though you or dissolves,
It 's the curb of reason, all collect,
Lost a time,' n it is freedom.
And you povr'alma wrapped in so much suffering,
disconnected forthwith, and your divine Mr Fairy
your thoughts revolt;
Sforza boldly the fierce fate
And the strings break, and then dissolved
slight and address the steps to a safer path.
Although, as mentioned, Correggio was the official court painter Gambara, it seems there is no portrait of Veronica. It only has some news of a painting commissioned by her merriment, which was to be a Magdalene in the desert; but it went missing.
