Lapo Mosca
Lapo Mosca is the fictional main character of a series of detective novels written by Hélène Nolthenius, a Dutch novelist and historian. Professionally, Nolthenius specialized in the history of Italian music during the renaissance, and her character Lapo Mosca was a travelling musician before he became a Franciscan monk. Even as a monk, Lapo continues to entertain the crowd with his popular poetry and songs. Many translations of actual Italian poetry and songs of the 14th century are included in the novels. Lapo himself carries the nickname ''Mosca'', fly, for his restlessness, but is also called ''Lapo Duedonne'' in reference to his most famous song. The historical figures mentioned in the novels include a number of 14th century travelling musicians, such as Angelo Moronti.
== Background ==
Scant detail is given about the previous life of Lapo Mosca. He was born in Lucca, and although from a poor family received some education in a local school. As an adult he became a travelling musician, apparently achieving his greatest popularity in Tuscany but travelling at least as far as Avignon. Many of his songs were protest songs, but on a bad day in Verona he was arrested for incitement to rebellion: Two men who had put heeded his rebellious advice were hanged, while Lapo himself was only branded, because the local ruler had been amused by his songs. He stopped singing protest songs and year later he joined the Franciscan order, seeking a way to show his solidarity with the poor in a less dangerous manner. He finally settled down in a monastery in Fiesole, which suits him, being a simple and poor institution. It is led by a ''guardiano'', not named, who Lapo respects for his intelligence and wisdom, even if he may find some of his fellow monks lacking in these qualities. Lapo Mosca is greatly attached to Florence, the capital of Tuscany.
