Reading the ode addressed to Count Raimondo Montecuccoli, Ruscelletto orgoglioso, the ode which brought Testi to the block in a dungeon of the Estensi, we comprehend what Leopardi meant by his high panegyric.
The printers of Modena and Padua refused; Giuliano Cassiani had been sent to prison in 1617 for publishing some verses of Testi against Spain.
Thus Alessandro Guidi, although he does not attain to the exaggeration of his master, is emptily bombastic, inflated, turgid, while Fulvio Testi is artificial and affected.
Yet Guidi as well as Testi felt the influence of another poet, Gabriello Chiabrera, born at Savona in 1552.
On the older editions, see Gamba, Testi di Lingua, 105 seq.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "testi" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
