"Aria del Gran Duca" (also known as "Aria di Fiorenza")^[1] is a popular melody and ground bass originating in the concluding ballet of the sixth and final intermedio by Emilio de' Cavalieri to the play La pellegrina by Girolamo Bargagli [de].^[2]^[a] The occasion for this performance on 2 May 1589 were the festivities of Ferdinando I de' Medici's marriage to Christina of Lorraine.^[3]

It spread over Europe and was used as a basis of compositions by numerous other Renaissance composers,^[1] both anonymous and named, such as Santino Garsi da Parma, Peter Philips, Sweelinck,Gasparo Zanetti,^[4] Giuseppe Giamberti [de; fr],^[5] and Adriano Banchieri.^[6] Francesca Caccini composed the song "O che nuovo stupor" as number 43 of her 1618 collection Il primo libro delle musiche using this ground bass.^[7]
