@landsckenech I can do it as I said, don't worry. Pass me the words if you have them, please. :-)

@landsckenech

For info: The italian language was not unified at the time. There were a few dialiects, one for different regions. The Milanese had their own dialect, the Venetians another. Genoa and Rome had yet another pair. Florence had their own, which eventually (if I remember properly) became what we would consider standardized Italian that we know and love today.

[1204grandine]

@comradetortoise well, the Milanese, the Venetians, Genoa and Rome still have their own dialects, but they are spoken together to Italian

[Miauriceful]

@comradetortoise

Italian vulgar was a lingua franca, all the scholars, the mercants and aristocrats spoke italian,

[amatorynumber]

@Beliber88 If you guys give me the lyrics in Italian (I can't quite make out everything she says by listening alone) I can provide a translation in English no problem. Hope this helps!

[Hlopeczwody]

magnificent...

[mynameisnterin]

Do you notice how the lady in the side portrait with her husband does't have any eyebrows? It was the fashion in Renaissance Italy to shave them off. Mona Lisa doesn't have any eyebrows either.

[RealMean90]

@mynameisnterin wow.. really... ??? I hope that fashion won't come back in Italy,, XO(I'm italian)

[Trund27]

@mynameisnterin That's a cool fact! Thanks for that

[NariShishitsu]

@mynameisnterin In renaissance the beauty was the blonde woman with pale skin, red cheeks, light eyebrows and lashes. Dark eyes (in 1300s) and clear(in Renaissance) and high forehead, an intelligence symbol.

[jwmulvay1]

@mynameisnterin That is a myth. Da Vinci painted the mona lisa with eyebrows. It was later restorations that painted them out.

[MIMIFORSAGE]

Beautiful instrumental & voice, & love the choice of artists - what is the name of the ensemble performing this exquisite music?

[Lautengitarre]

Hello lovely Beatrice. More bells, percusiion, thunderdrum, your alone Amselhupfer.
