currentmusicology-5165	Wilbourne, Emily	Review of Roger Freitas. 2009. Portrait of a Castrato: Politics, Patronage, and Music in the Life of Atto Melani. New Perspectives in Music History and Criticism. Cambridge and New York: Cambridge University Press	2009	6	.pdf	application/pdf	2618	114	48	Freitas discusses an affair between Atto Melani and Carlo II Gonzaga-Nevers, Duke of Mantua, and another between Atto and a young, unnamed Italian nobleman who also seems to have had an affair with the Duke, along with evidence of heterosexual assignations. If chapters 1 and 4 theorize outward from the exemplar of Atto Melani to suggest ways in which the category castrato can be better understood, chapters 2, 3, 5, and 7 deal with the specific biographical circumstances of Atto's life.	cache/currentmusicology-5165.pdf	txt/currentmusicology-5165.txt
