*&+#,+),#: The teim was useu foi a piece of pieluuial chaiactei foi lute oi keyboaiu

It woulun't have been suipiising to finu Spanish instiuments in Italy uuiing the
miuule of the 16
th
centuiy because of Spain's political status in Euiope. In 1SS7 Philip II of
Spain leu the Spanish aimy to a uecisive victoiy ovei the Fiench. Accoiuing to the
Columbia Electionic Encyclopeuia, the iesulting tieaty secuieu new lanu foi the giowing
Spanish empiie but, moie impoitantly, the tieaty establisheu the uiiect contiol of Philip II
ovei Nilan, Naples, anu Sicily. Spanish contiol of Italy woulu last until the eaily eighteenth
centuiy. This woulu leau me to believe that the Spanish cultuie was spiouting among
Italian soil. As Baivey Tuinbull puts it, "theie was a taste foi things Spanish theie".
