In the last quarter of the 16th century the madrigal spread far beyond Italy. More than 85 books with Italian madrigals were printed in Antwerp, mainly by Pierre Phalèse de Jonge, and offered an excellent venue for both Italian and native composers. Thanks to research into the collections published at that time, La Compagnia del Madrigale brings works from the volumes that helped the genre to its success. It shows their full potential and establishes the madrigal as a cosmopolitan art form.
