L'autrice ha impresso al volume un carattere profondamente interdisciplinare, passando in rassegna con opportuna vivacita campi diversi, ma collegati come la musica, la poesia, la storia, e il teatro, cercando di ricostruire la complessa rete di rapporti che, nelle grandi e piccole corti fra Firenze e Mantova, legava fra di loro letterati maggiori e minori come Agnolo Poliziano, Veronica Gambara, Niccolo Lelio Cosmico o Mario Equicola, con personaggi storici come Lorenzo De'Medici, il Savonarola o Lucrezia Borgia. Attraverso questa stimolante opera di ricostruzione, si e cercato di evocare il fervido interscambio politico-culturale che, tra il XV e XVI secolo, animava le corti maggiori di Ferrara, Firenze e Mantova e quelle periferiche di Correggio e Gazzuolo.
