Famous for his courtesy book  La Civil Conversazione , Stefano Guazzo can also be seen as a precursor of Early Modern salon-culture. His final book,  La Ghirlanda della contessa  Angela Bianca Beccaria , provides a fascinating, yet nearly unknown example of the European art of conversation. Like other  libri-mosaico  (A. Quondam) in the 16th century,  La  Ghirlanda  represents a distinct social space that is usually referred to as ‘accademia’. Based on a narrative dialogue about an aristocratic game, the book illustrates the dual nature of this space which needs to be carefully considered. The study of Guazzo’s writing contributes to a deeper understanding of how the academies connected their scholarly, ‘male’ tradition to their playful, ‘feminine’ face.  La Ghirlanda  creates a most interesting link between two spheres - aristocracy and the republic of letters - that demonstrates the cohesive power of literature.
