Guglielmo Ebreo da Pesaro

Guglielmo Ebreo da Pesaro was a fifteenth-century Italian dancing master, choreographer and theorist, also known after his conversion to Christianity as Giovanni Ambrosio. He worked at leading courts of Renaissance Italy and wrote De pratica seu arte tripudii, an important account of the principles and practice of courtly dance. His surviving choreographies and dance music illuminate the close relationship between movement, rhythm and social life in the Renaissance.
