The author begins by analyzing the main features of Italian literary taste and concludes that the modern Italian taste is corrupted. The main topics of this book are: the reasons that have led to this corruption, the characteristics of this new taste, and the possible remedies that can be applied to bring about improvement. The author explores how, when, and why the taste has undergone such transformation and reflects on the dangers of relying too heavily on foreign influence in literature.

Borsa (1751-1798) was a nephew and student of the great Italian literary theorist Saverio Bettinelli (1718-1808). In this essay he discusses the influences on Italian literature of French writing and Enlightenment philosophy. In a separate chapter he discusses the influence of English literature and philosophy, mentioning Hume, Shaftesbury, Pope, Butler and Swift. Borsa is concerned that Italian authors are blindly imitating the English rather than coming up with original ideas. In the second part, Arteaga (1747-1799) gives a close analysis of BorsaĠs works, and adds his own commentary on the Italian taste, speaking about classical models as well as recent French influences, including Montesquieu, Rousseau, Corneille and Riccoboni. Borsa went on to write a play, Agamennone e Clitnnestra (1786). Arteaga was the author of Le Rivoluzioni del Teatro Musicale Italiano, the first critical history of opera (1783).

Stralcio da 'Opuscoli scelti sulle scienze e sulle arti tratti dagli Atti delle Accademie e dalle Collezioni Filosofiche, e Letterarie', vol. IV, primo periodico scientifico milanese edito dal 1778 al 1803 che, sotto la cura di Carlo Amoretti e Francesco Soave, raccoglieva saggi e memorie dei principali scienziati dell'epoca. InteressanteÂsaggioÂdi questo scrittore originario di Mantova, poi ripubblicato nel 1800,Âil quale condanna l'opera con i suoi 'afoni personaggi' e gli esibizionismi vocali riprendendo analoghe teorie espresse da Algarotti il quale criticava il virtuossimo canoro responsabile di compromettere il giusto rapporto tra musica e parole. L'inverosimiglianza rispetto all'azione drammatica e' cio' che Borsa rileva, non senza ironia,Ânel canto del virtuoso: "chi non ridera' o non restera' anzi stomacato di un uomo il quale. invece di mostrarsi soffocato dalla moltitudine delle parole e delle ingiurie si ferma a bocca aperta e colla mano immobilmente inchiodata sul petto per tre o quattro battute in una nota che gli fa perdere il fiato, e poi imposto silenzio all'ochestra si va divertendo da solo in un trillo seguito da un pazzo trascorrer di voce. indi appena tornato in se' e dette due o tre parole. intoppa fatalmente in un A o in O che gli mette in convulsione l'epiglottide da cui. il senso dei poveri versi resta tratenuto e tagliato.?". Conclude con rammarico l'A.: "ah ne' cosi' mai canto' Farinello". Borsa preferisce l'opera buffa per la maggiore varieta' delle situazioni e per il piu' coerente rapporto della musica con il testo.
