Note: Ordered by Grand Duke Ferdinando II of Tuscany and conceived by Tommaso Guidoni, the ballet was performed in the amphitheater of the Boboli gardens. Alfonso Parigi designed the costumes, the decorations, and the float of Neptune. Ferdinando Tacca designed the float of the sea monster; Impressions of the etching were issued with Benedetto Rigogli's poem in verse in: Combattimento e balletto a cavallo rappresentato di notte in Fiorenza ... (In Fiorenza : Nella stamperia di S.A.S. alla Condotta, 1652); The print depicts the horse ballet known as Proteo e Fama, performed in Florence on the evening of April 28, 1652 in honor of the visit of Anna de' Medici, Ferdinand Karl of Austria and Sigmund Franz of Austria; Infantrymen, torchbearers, and cavaliers are shown marching in the arena, escorting the ship of Christopher Columbus. In the background, a sea monster emerges from a mount adorned with a double-headed eagle; The etcher's signature is incomplete, with only the faint letters "Della" visible. Other impressions are inscribed "SDBella f." with the letters "SDB" interlaced (Cf. de Vesme); Library has another impression of the etching folded and bound in: Combattimento e balletto a cavallo rappresentato di notte in Fiorenza ... Another impression of the etching forms part of the Italian Theater Collection: accn. no. P980004* (bx.6,f.11); Forms part of the Collection of festival prints, 1530-1887 (Special Collections accn. no. P910002**).
