Italian dancing-master. Il Ballerino (1581) is an important source of information on sixteenth century dances, containing rules for the art of dancing and lute arrangements of dance music. An expanded edition, Nobiltà di Dame, appeared in 1600. Although Nobiltà contains many of the same dances as Il Ballarino, many of them have changed or updated choreographies.
