An important festival for the wedding of Prince Michele Peretti and Princess Anna Maria Cesi was held in Rome in 1614. So far not much attention has been given to this important event. The groom was a brother of Cardinal Montalto (and thus a descendant of Pope Sisto V) vice-chancellor and a very infuential member of the “Accademia degli Umoristi”. The bride was a cousin of Prince Federico Cesi, who was the founder and leading person of the “Accademia dei Lincei”. It was unavoidable that during this festival the life and the subsequent tensions in both Academies came to light, which created heated discussions among those present. This led, of course, to further discussions and strain. Considering the period this was doubtless very courageous since these two Academies had the intention to use this festival for defending Galilei and the Nuova Scienza. Among the numerous persons who collaborated were two artists forming part of the Este culture, viz Giovanni Guerra, an architect and painter, and Ercole Provenzale, an Enzo Bentivoglio’s correspondent to whom we owe much and authentic information on this event.
