The rooms for the tournament: Between tradition and inventiveness

rooms for the tournament a lot of police culture and how Dante and Petrartesca Ghino Ghinassi says in his essay is in the tradition typical of the '400 that had used the eighth chivalric novels to celebrate the games and competitions that were held at the courts.
The rooms were in fact made for the tournament organized by Lorenzo De Medici patron and man of culture, as well as lord of Florence, which he saw as tournament winner Julian, brother of Lorenzo.
However, the first author's intention is to narrate in an innovative way, the story of Julio, the main character who discovers another side of himself.
is in fact told the meeting wanted to be Cupid, between the skeptic Julius, who does not believe in love, or not likely to be important to the infinite sweetness that it entails, preferring this to the chase, and the beautiful Simon, Florentine woman who has if all the physical and moral qualities to make any man fall in love.
Poliziano then shows here its artistic depth, taking care of every detail regarding the style used, shows the interest of his predecessors, however, trying to assert his own artistic personality, there is a free use of the word, according to the own taste that goes beyond being tied to a particular tradition.
The love that is sung is a platonic love, love that is the way to reach the absolute good, and what moves the world and Julius can not be interested in this, and it is precisely for this reason that Cupid makes it appear that the deer turns out to be the beautiful Simonetta; All this is sung according to the canons of opera petrartesca, as we see in verses 39-40, "[...] and then up the hem of her white hand, foot levassi filled with flowers in her lap," where there is an explicit reference to Petrarch .
rooms and then they want to express what the poet thinks when he decided to compose, for example, the first time when Julius discovers the existence or importance of a feeling unknown, the existence of an uncontrollable desire to live and a mystical experience in some way that involves a radical change for him, can contemplate the beauty, something very much like a rite of passage, in short, a change of entity not indifferent.
