FIRST EDITION, second issue (with some textual corrections and 2 short letters completely reset), of the third book of Aretino's letters which was edited by Ludovico Domenichi and dedicated by the author to the Grand Duke of Tuscany (Venice, January 1546).
“La prima ed unica edizione cinquecentesca di Lettere III, seguita solo dalla ristampa parigina del 1609, si deve a Gabriel Giolito de' Ferrari […] Lettere III si presenta dunque in una nuova veste editoriale, graficamente più curata rispetto alle edizioni Marcolini sin dall'elegante disegno del corsivo utilizzato per il testo, distinto dal corsivo calligrafico – di corpo maggiore – adoperato nella dedicatoria a Cosimo de' Medici […] Nel caso di Lettere III la revisione del testo venne affidata a Ludovico Domenichi […] La stampa del volume, per quel che è dato sapere, dovette durare all'incirca 4 mesi (novembre 1545-febbraio 1546), con i consueti ripensamenti a tiratura avviata puntualmente registrati dagli stati diversi di alcune forme. Al cambiamento di giudizio nei confronti dei Farnese si deve la ricomposizione di almeno 4 forme tipografiche, con variazioni sostanziali nella lezione del testo dettate dall'opportunità di mitigare il giudizio verso la famiglia papale, probabilmente nell'ipotesi di un appoggio per il cardinalato. Non si può parlare in questo caso di due diverse emissioni, quanto piuttosto di stati diversi di alcune forme tipografiche, i cui differenti fogli di stampa andarono a comporre gli esemplari pervenuti. Due lettere (III, 467 e 568) vennero interamente sostituite nel passaggio da uno stato all'altro della forma, comprovando anche in questo caso come la partecipazione di Aretino alle fasi di stampa fosse costante e tempestiva, così da intervenire – modificando alcuni giudizi – sulle situazioni correnti a seconda del loro evolversi […] Domenichi, paternamente considerato da Aretino ‘giovane di somma bontà e virtù', dovette assecondare i ripensamenti del maestro controllando da vicino le continue interruzioni della tiratura, con tutti i rischi che esse potevano comportare per l'integrità della composizione tipografica. A lavoro concluso, gli venne affidato l'incarico di presentare Lettere III a Cosimo I, dedicatario del volume, occasione che Domenichi sfruttò immediatamente per introdursi nell'ambiente fiorentino” (Bertolo, op. cit., pp. 95-98).
“Tutti i libri di Lettere dell'Aretino, dal secondo in poi, recano la dedica anche nel titolo, con quello che sembra un crescendo di magniloquenza: il secondo libro è semplicemente intitolato ‘Al Sacratissimo re d'Inghilterra'; il titolo del terzo e quarto libro ha in aggiunta anche un epiteto per il dedicatario ‘Al Magnanimo Signor Cosimo de i Medici, principe di buona volontade' e ‘al Magnanimo Signor Giovan Carlo Affaetati, gentilhuom senza pari'; [...] Il terzo libro delle Lettere, che verrà stampato da Gabriele Giolito sotto la supervisione di Lodovico Domenichi, Aretino lo dedicherà a Cosimo I de' Medici, che, come scrive Larivaille, era ‘il primo dei [suoi] dedicatari', ma anche il principe ‘nel quale aveva creduto a priori di poter riporre le più fondate speranze' e dal quale ‘dovrà subire le più cocenti delusioni'. La dedica del terzo libro è come sempre preparata da missive che poi confluiscono nel libro stesso: in particolare, nella lettera al signor Giuliano Salviati dell'aprile 1545, Aretino sostiene che, vista la nota munificenza del Granduca e della sua consorte, Eleonora di Toledo, ha ‘fatto voto di non mettere più in luce alcuna sua opera, che non sia dedicata ai lor nomi' [...] Se a Enrico VIII si addiceva ‘il titolo di Deitade' Cosimo I è ‘quasi immagine di deitade vera'; ridotto è però lo spazio riservato alla vera e propria lode del dedicatario, visto che tutta la prima parte della non lunghissima dedica è occupata da una serie di variazioni sul tema della corrispondenza tra la dedica del volume e la fiamma votiva che si accende davanti alle divinità. Solo avviandosi alla conclusione dell'epistola l'Aretino riporta quella che sostiene essere la communis opinio sul granduca di Toscana: ‘ch'è tanta la felicità di senno ne la vostra gioventù fortunata, che in la ragion certa non dimandate consiglio altrui e in la dubiosa non deliberate solo; usando a chi la chiede giustizia, e misericordia a chi la merita'. Egli ricorda inoltre la sua equanimità e la sua generosità e finisce con un accenno a Giovanni dalla Bande Nere, ‘padre vostro immortale dal qual (dopo Iddio) dipendeva la speranza d'ogni mio desiderio' ” (C. Schiavon, Una via d'accesso agli epistolari. Le dediche dei libri di lettere d'autore nel Cinquecento. Prima parte, in: “Margini. Giornale della dedica e altro”, 3, 2009, pp. 10 e 18-19).

Pietro, the son of Tita Bonci and a cobbler named Luca Del Tura, was born in Arezzo in the momentous year 1492. With typical disregard for propriety, he sometimes claimed to be the bastard of the nobleman Luigi Bacci, who kept his mother as a mistress. In all his publications, however, he adopted the nom d'artiste Pietro Aretino. He received little education and lived, for some years poor and neglected, picking up such straps of information as he could. Still very young he was banished from Arezzo on account of a satirical sonnet which he composed against indulgences. About 1506 he moved to Perugia, where he obtained the protection of Francesco Bontempi. In that town he also got acquainted with many poets and painters, among them Agnolo Firenzuola, who became a partner in his many dissolute adventures. In those years he wrote a collection of poems, Opera nova (Venezia, Zoppino, 1512), his first published work. After a brief stay in Siena, where he was serving Agostino Chigi, he settled in Rome in 1517 and entered the refined court of Leo X. Like his friend Bernardo Accolti, called Unico Aretino, Pietro became soon very popular for his audacity and effrontery that made him both loved for the laugh and sympathy he communicated, and respected for fear of falling victim to his terrible satirical tongue. He was able to become the confidant of politicians and diplomats and close friend of artists and poets. From them he gathered a wealth of anecdotes and secrets, which he used to put himself at the center of Roman social life. Aretino had to flee briefly in 1524 after publishing some sonnets to go with a series of banned engravings by Giulio Romano showing positions adopted in love-making; and once more, this time permanently, in 1525, when the chief target of his pen, Bishop Gian Matteo Giberti - a man Clement could not afford to offend publicly - nearly succeeded in having him assassinated. To the end of the Roman period and the beginning of his stay in Mantua dates back the composition of an unfinished poem on the Gonzaga family, later published under the title Marfisa (1532).
In 1527 Aretino moved to Venice, where he remained for the rest of his life. There he became friend of the painters Jacopo Sansovino and Titian, who made the famous portrait of him later reproduced in many of his editions. In Venice Pietro could count on various protections and therefore live a very lavish and libertine life. He used to send more or less favorable predictions and laudatory or defamatory texts to mighty people all over Europe, according to his sympathies and the benefits he could get from them. They began to fear him and cover him with gifts and titles to enjoy the favor of his pen. In Venice Aretino started also publishing systematically his new writings in association with the typographer Francesco Marcolini: devotional works like I sette salmi de la penitenza di David (1534), Umanità di Cristo (1535), and Vita di Maria Vergine (1540); profane and scandalous texts like the celebrated Ragionamenti (1534-1536); comedies like Il Marescalco (1533), La Cortigiana (1534), L'Ipocrito (1542), La Talanta (1542), and Il Filosofo (1546). His most original creation inaugurated a new literary genre: a series of six books of letters, which were published from 1537 onwards. With these Aretino had achieved perhaps the most monumental act of self-production in early modern history. Though he was explicit in his condemnation of linguistic pedantry, the vigour, colour and inventiveness of his prose is the result of great care, usually well concealed beneath a surface of apparent spontaneity. His letters reveal him as a nimble thinker, a writer capable of expressing a wide range of feeling, a gifted and - for the time - uniquely sympathetic appreciator of the works of his artist friends, among whom Titian was prominent.
In the 1540s he quickly understood that the political and religious climate was rapidly changing. His production became exclusively religious and he began writing tragedies (Horatia, 1546) instead of comedies. Despite this new strategy he could not obtain the cardinal's hat he had aspired for so long. In 1553 he made his last trip to Rome in company of Guidobaldo, Duke of Urbino. In his last years he had to face the criticism of his former friend Anton Francesco Doni, which followed that, even harsher, expressed ten years earlier by Nicolò Franco, another of his former pupils. Aretino died in Venice in 1556. His death was due to apoplexy, but according to popular account, by falling over backward from his chair in a fit of laughter at an obscene story told him by his sister (cf. P. Larivaille, Pietro Aretino, Salerno, 1997, passim).
