Baldassare Castiglione, author of Il Cortegiano (" The Courtier "), wrote in 1528: "... Another of the greatest painters in this world looks down on this art in which he is unequalled ..." while the biographer known as " Anonimo Gaddiano " wrote, c. 1540: " His genius was so rare and universal that it can be said that nature worked a miracle on his behalf ...".

Of the many qualities Castiglione ’ s characters attribute to their perfect courtier, oratory and the manner in which courtier presents himself while speaking is amongst one of the most highly discussed.

Wayne Rebhorn, a Castiglione scholar, states that the courtier ’ s speech and behavior in general is “ designed to make people marvel at him, to transform himself into a beautiful spectacle for others to contemplate.

In Book I, the Count states that when the courtier speaks he must have a “ sonorous, clear, sweet and well sounding ” voice that is neither too effeminate nor too rough and be “ tempered by a calm face and with a play of the eyes that shall give an effect of grace .” ( Castiglione 1. 33 ) This grace, or grazia, becomes an important element in the courtier ’ s appearance to the audience.

Eduardo Saccone states in his analysis of Castiglione, “ grazia consists of, or rather is obtained through, sprezzatura .”

Another feature of rhetoric which Castiglione discusses is the role of written language and style.

Robert J. Graham, a Renaissance literary scholar, notes that “ questions of whose language is privileged at any given historical moment are deeply implicated in matters of personal, social and cultural significance ”, which he states is the primary reason for Castiglione ’ s usage of the native vernacular.
