I am increasingly interested in the people we try not to see and which most would have tried not to see even in the 16th-century, namely those of mixed race in Europe. Especially how a person of my lineage (I am of African, French, and Spanish descent) would have lived in 16th century Italy.

Introduction

I am Fiore Leonetta Bardi (Fee-oh-re / Leh-oh-neht-tah / Bahr-di) also known as Fiore di Bardi (she/her). I am currently Baronessa di Carolingia. I am primarily a researcher of life in 16th-century Florence but truly three of me exist -- Fiore, the persona, Fiore's Tailor, and the historian researching both. I (the tailor) specialize in Florentine dress from the mid-1560s to ~1590, hand sewing, and embroidery. My area of interest (as the historian) includes research of life as an illegitimate woman in Florence, research into people of African descent in Florence, the Florentine Camerata, artifacts and practices for a noblewoman of this time -- including the practice of hunting and falconry in Florence, and Florentine textiles. I (Fiore) also try to learn the behaviors and manner of the woman I would have been then which includes dance, target archery, and many intellectual pursuits. Fiore also functions within the SCA which is a time and place of its own.

Fiore has received a writ to ponder the question of whether to accept elevation to the Order of the Laurel. Her ceremony will take place at Birka in the East Kingdom on January 28th. For elevation information, please contact Lady Katla of Viborg.

Persona

Fiore Leonetta Bardi born in 1550 is the illegitimate daughter of Giovanni Bardi, Count of Florence and Lucrezia Guarini, a noblewoman of mixed race and musician in the Court of Ferrara. She lives as a ward of her father's court and studied music and letters within the Florentine Camerata. Fiore Leonetta Bardi is best known to history for her numerous violations of Florentine sumptuary law as relates to apparel and the frequency with which her father was called before the Medici court on her behalf. It is rumored that Fiore di Bardi was secretly married to a German and may have given birth to a child of that union. The origin and veracity of these claims remain unknown, however, it is extremely unlikely that Signorina Fiore would have had to resort to such a union given her maternal dowry in the amount of 8000 florins. Fiore's pursuit of papal legitimacy continued throughout her father's lifetime.
