Highlighting the fissures running through Italian Renaissance ideas of manliness, this title describes how, alongside pervasive images of the virile, sexually active man, early modern Italian culture recognized the existence of hermaphrodites and started to experiment with a fresh kind of sexuality by manufacturing a non-man: the castrato.
