First sentence: The body of this book deals with Italian opera and operatic production in the first half of the eighteenth century, and specifically with operatic production in Florence and elsewhere as it was seen through the eyes of a Florentine nobleman, Marchese Luca Casimiro degli Albizzi (5 March 1664-6 February 1745).
