Abstract

The present contribution summarizes information about the birth and dissemination of the Neapolitan villanella of cinquecento by calling attention to some non-musical moments, which caused its popularity. Conceived as a politically committed song of the rebellious Neapolitan nobility, it later became attractive due to the obscene but hidden double meanings of the words.
