This book includes a collection of sonnets, and ariose arias, published in 1775 in celebration of the wedding of Prince Carlo Emanuele of Savoy to Princess Clotilde of France at the Royal Academy in Turin. The book explores themes such as virtue and glorious ancestry, love and peace, and the praise of the newly married couple. The marriage between the two royal houses of Savoy and France was a political alliance that contributed to strengthen their power and prestige in Europe and the Mediterranean. The celebratory and jubilant work is, at the same time, a historical document that provides insight into the cultural practices of the time.
