The main work is a dialog on death with a dozen speakers - including Bernardo Tasso, Sperone Speroni and Dionigi Atanagi - who gather in Venetian noble Domenico Venier's palace. The opening essay, written when Marcellino was twenty, advocates the use of Italian over Latin and stresses the former's felicity and flexibility.
