Luigi Rossi
Luigi Rossi (c. 1597 – 20 February 1653) was an Italian Baroque composer. Born in Torremaggiore, a small town near Foggia, in the ancient kingdom of Naples, at an early age he went to Naples where he studied music with the Franco-Flemish composer Jean de Macque, organist of the Santa Casa dell’Annunziata and ''maestro di cappella'' to the Spanish viceroy. Rossi later entered the service of the Caetani, dukes of Traetta. Life Rossi composed two operas: '' Il palazzo incantato'', which was given at Rome in 1642; and '' Orfeo'', written after he was invited by Cardinal Mazarin in 1646 to go to Paris for that purpose and given its premiere there in 1647.

Some of the highly complicated stage machinery failed to work during the performance. Revived by Opera Dijon in a January 2021 online production.

Treaty Of The Hague (1641)
The Treaty of The Hague of 1641 was a ten-year truce between the Dutch Republic and the Kingdom of Portugal. It was also a "Treaty of Offensive and Defensive Alliance" between the two countries. The treaty included a pledge to form a combined fleet to attack Spain. The truce, which was originally meant to apply to all of the territories of the two empires, was, in practice, limited to the European continent. Historical context The Dutch declared their independence from the Habsburg king of Spain in 1579, which resulted in war. In 1580, the Iberian Union, which combined the crowns of Spain and Portugal, was formed. Subsequently, king Philip closed Portuguese ports to the Dutch and established a ban on trade between the Portuguese-Spanish colonies and the Dutch Republic. The Dutch attempted to restore the trade with the Portuguese colonies by occupying the northeast of Brazil, São Tomé Island, Goree and Elmina, which led to conflicts between the Dutch Empire and the Iberian Union. ...
