Barbara Torelli Benedetti

Barbara Torelli Benedetti of Parma (1546 – after 1603) was an Italian author who wrote the first pastoral play by an Italian woman, Partenia.[1] It was completed in 1587, and although it was not published but remained in manuscript form, it was well-known and highly thought of.[2][3] It probably inspired Maddalena Campiglia’s Flori, written the next year.[4][5] The poet Muzio Manfredi advised Torelli and helped to disseminate the play.[6][7]
