Caccini as Catch Can


He was also the father of the composer Francesca Caccini and the singer Settimia Caccini. Wikipedia


Caccini's character seems to have been less than perfectly honorable, as he was frequently motivated by envy and jealousy, not only in his professional life but for personal advancement with the Medici. –  Wikipedia


Giulio Caccini and his daughters

Navigated stormy waters,

Though it seems that Dad was apt to stoke

The politics and machinations,

The scuttlebutt and accusations,

Abounding in the Florentine Baroque.
