In 1615 the Venetian publisher Ricciardo Amadino issued Le Musiche by Sigismondo D'India (1580-1629), feeling certain that he was offering a product which would prove a commercial success, as had been the first book of monodies by the same author, published in Milan in 1609. The notoriety of the musician induced optimism: he had arrived on the scene of the new century demonstrating his abilities to maneuver excellently in all musical genres. The versatility of his muse, the quality of his writing, and perhaps the dedication of his first book of motets to Cardinal Maurizio di Savoia, all probably played a determining role in procuring D'India the appointment of maestro della musica da camera at the court of Duke Carlo Emanuele I. Beginning on April 1, 1611, he entered into the service at the Savoy court, earning a yearly salary of 200 ducats. He remained in Turin until May 1623, at which time he left (for reasons which remain obscure), and resumed his wanderings in search of another stable and prestigious position worthy of his reputation.
