I know it's not pronounced like that in Italian, but I always read his name as "Googly-Elmo" Marconi.


Wow. I can't unsee that.


That just wrecked my ability to say the name of a prominent 15th century Italian dance master.

I've always been more of a Caroso fan, especially his second treatise. I've even learned Alegrezza d'amore from both his first and second works and did them back to back :)

Then again, Petit Riens is my favorite danes of Pesaro's... I call it mosh pit riens given how rowdy it can be!


Yeah, but "Fabritio" can't measure up to "Googly-Elmo"!

Fabric Cheeto? Febreze Cheeto?

BTW Allegrezza d'Amore is also in Santucci. Happy to send you a translation.


That'd be awesome!

To be fair the pronunciation of GLI in Italian is rather unique, so I’ll take Googly-Elmo!
