The rooms for the tournament are a poem composed in the eighth Angelo Poliziano in 1475 at the event organized by Lorenzo the Magnificent to celebrate the peace agreement reached between the principal Italian powers. However, as stressed
Ghino Ghinassi in his essay entitled The vulgar literary in the fifteenth and Poliziano's Stanze "to sing the carousel is manifested on several occasions, only the intention." The work it is proposed to sing mostly platonic love of Giuliano, Lorenzo's brother and winner of the tournament, a Florentine woman, Simonetta Vespucci.
In the first book tells the story of the first meeting between the two, which occurred as a result of a deception hatched by Cupid, because he wanted revenge on Julius that, previously, had preferred the hunt for love. From these verses, one can see similarities in the description of the young in particular, with the poetry of Dante and Petrarch. Simon, as well as Laura and Beatrice, has the character of a divine creature, enveloped by a white light ("she is Candida yeast and the dress ", v1) and it is so beautiful that his figure light and conditions nature. Regarding the influence of Petrarch, the identification of the woman he loves with a white deer is already in a famous sonnet of the Canzoniere. Are also clear references to poetry Clear, fresh and sweet water, the most significant of these in verse 40 (" levossi foot in a womb filled with flowers ") recalling the verse of Petrarch (" a rain of flowers over 'the her womb") . Simon is the talk of the divine (" every breeze silent on her divine speech , v15), which is also present in Dante's poetry So gentle and so honest it seems (" That every tongue Deven trembling mute "). She is described as humble and flat (v17) stilnovisti typical character of the woman, and also embodies the honesty, kindness, the beauty and the loveliness, typical procedure in the police, again derived stilnovisti. Verse 16 (" and sings every little bird in his Latin ) plus resumes to poetry Fresh new rose of the famous poet Cavalcanti ( and sing the auselli / each in its own language") .
But references to other authors are numerous, among them also Boccaccio, in relation to the meter used, Ficino as regards the conception of love that emerges, but also authors of ancient poetry. The beginning of the speech by Julius ("-O what you're, virgin queen, or goddess-nymph or but some goddess m'assembri; / if a goddess, perhaps' you are my Diana; / s mortal, who you are me some ") refers in fact to the words spoken by Odysseus, Nausicaa when it appears before his eyes ( You are mortal or goddess? Goddess If you are [...] [...] Artemis certain beauty and grandeur strike me as the figure ").
One can therefore conclude that in this poem is not fully achieved the ideal of Poliziano docta varietas, ie, the mixing and blending of elements drawn from various sources.
