The Italians had conflicting sentiments regarding the visit of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV in Italy in 1355: from the enthusiastic expectations of the impact the Emperor would have on the local political life to contemptuous scepticism and even to overt disdain. Two Italian Trecento madrigals have traditionally been considered to refer to this visit: (1) the three-voice polytextual madrigal Aquil altera/Creatura gentil/Uccel di Dio by Jacopo da Bologna, seen as related to Charles’s coronation with the Iron Crown of Lombardy in Milan; and (2) the two-voice madrigal Sovran uccello by Donato da Firenze, considered a celebratory piece for Charles’s coronation as well. This essay explores the relevant historical contexts, Milanese for Jacopo’s madrigal and Florentine for Donato’s, with a view to placing both pieces.

罗马帝国查理四世的意大利经历：音乐和文学方面

对于 1355 年神圣罗马帝国皇帝查理四世访问意大利，意大利人的看法自相矛盾：从对皇帝将对当地政治生活产生影响的热情期望到轻蔑的怀疑态度，甚至是公然的蔑视。传统上，有两首意大利 Trecento 牧歌被认为是指这次访问：（1）三声部多文本牧歌Aquil altera/Creatura gentil/Uccel di DioJacopo da Bologna，被视为与查尔斯在米兰加冕伦巴第铁王冠有关；(2) 两声牧歌索夫兰·乌切洛多纳托·达·佛罗伦萨 (Donato da Firenze) 的作品，也被认为是查尔斯加冕的庆祝作品。这篇文章探讨了相关的历史背景，雅格布的牧歌是米兰的，多纳托的是佛罗伦萨的，以期将这两件作品放在一起。
