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

The scuttlebutt and accusations,
Abounding in the Florentine Baroque.
