To the Palestinians, this looked like another shameful failure for their president: he went to Canossa [where in 1077 Henry IV stood in penance for three days, bareheaded, in order to reverse his excommunication] and received meaningless promises that were not kept. Henry was forced to travel to Italy to the pope's winter castle at Canossa in the Italian Alps to beg forgiveness. Part Three contains supplemental documents including Baldassare Castiglione's Letter to Ludovico di Canossa describing the stage apparatus for the 1513 performance of Calandria in Urbino, and a description of the same event found in a manuscript in the Vatican. |
