description The incipit of Claudio Achillini’s sonnet, composed in 1629 to pay homage to King Louis XIII of France, is possibly the most renowned verse in seventeenth-century Italian literature. Over the centuries, it has been quoted by all those who attacked Baroque poetry, becoming an anti-exemplum for both aesthetic (pompous style, excessive rhetorical figures) and ethical reasons (servility towards a foreign monarch). This article offers an overview of the writers who have quoted, criticised or parodied Achillini’s verse from its first publication to the first half of the twentieth century.
