prattica (G. B. Bovicelli 1594 and G. Caccini 1602) but also to German composers that introduced elements of the Italian style in their country (among them, M. Praetorius 1619, C. Bernhard 1650 ca. and W. Mylius 1685). On the contrary, there are written document that confirm that this grace – born in Italy and then
spread out in Europe – was practiced well until the first decades of the 20th century, although with some different names and characteristics. Intervals, position within the musical phrase, use of ‘carrying’ of the tone, can change from period to period. In the majority of cases, the mentioned written sources are singing
primers. Among these, the most relevant ones are German, but we also find some Spanish (Remacha 1799), French (García 1847) and English (Corri 1779) ones. In the 17th century, the cercar della nota was not only permitted but even required. Since the mid18th century, some authors started to consider it a misused device: it was therefore banned by theorists because of its abuse. Although it was considered nauseating, it had nonetheless never been abandoned from practice the praxis the 20th century. The cercar della nota was sometimes justified more by technical more than aesthetical reasons. Rather than articulating syllables on high
notes, a singer can pronounce them on a lower passing note. This leads to the real one through a portamento. Relying on the evidence of numerous written sources, the author argues that historically informed performances of vocal music of the
past should not exclude the phenomenon of the cercar della nota, a technique that is totally neglected nowadays.

Sulla base di materiale d’archivio inedito, il saggio ricostruisce la figura di fatto sconosciuta di Margherita Balletti (Milano, 1680 ca.-Londra?, post 1738), moglie di Giovanni Bononcini ed esponente di un’importante famiglia di comici dell’Arte in azione nelle principali piazze dell’Italia settentrionale e presso le corti dell’Europa centrale già dalla metà del XVII secolo. Margherita non si dedicò al teatro, ma coltivò la pittura. Seguì il marito a Vienna, a Roma, a Londra e a Parigi, ma il matrimonio naufragò nei debiti e negli scandali.
