This little drama is thus entitled: Catone Uticense. Drama per Musica, da recitarsi nel teatro Grimani in S. Gio. Grisostomo, di Matteo Noris, l'anno M DCC I. Dedicato all' illustriss. et excellentiss. Sig. Don Gaetano Cesarini, prencipe di Genzano. In Venetia, 1701. per li Niccolini. In an advertisement to the reader, the author acknowledges his departure from history: "Eccoti la historia;" says he, "il di più si finge, e si ti rappresenta la ferita di Catone, non la morte, perche habbiano luogo gli sponsali di Cesare con Flaminia, e di Floro con Sabina." But this is not the only instance in which the author deviates from history: he removes the scene of his fable from from Utica to Rome, and alternately lays it in that city and its vicinity. When I only knew the Catone Uticense from the report of Addison, I said that its plot or fable bore a strong resemblance to that of the Catone of Metastasio. I have since read the drama, and my opinion remains unshaken. HOUSE OF TRISSINO FRONTISPIECE. PORTRAIT and Arms of G. G. Trissino, from his life, by Pier Filippo Castelli, Ven. 1753. 4to. TITLE-PAGE.
