| "summary": "Carlo Gesualdo da Venosa was born as an Italian nobleman and composer, notable for his contributions to music.", | ||
| "year": 1566, | ||
| "location": "Venosa, Italy", | ||
| "emoji": "\ud83c\udfb6", | ||
| "fun_version": "Carlo Gesualdo da Venosa was an Italian nobleman, composer, and the original \"drama king\" of music who probably threw more temper tantrums in the name of art than a toddler denied a cookie. Known for his contributions to music, he practically invented the concept of \"sorry, not sorry\" with his unique compositions, which were as flamboyant as his aristocratic wardrobe! This guy was so passionate about music, he could make even a washing machine sound like a symphony." | ||

| "section": "Biography", | ||
| "title": "Marriage to Donna Maria d'Avalos", | ||

| "location": "Venosa", | ||
| "emoji": "\ud83d\udc8d", | ||
| "fun_version": "Once upon a time in the land of family reunions gone awry, Gesualdo decided that marrying your first cousin was the perfect way to keep the family close\u2014literally! So he tied the knot with Donna Maria d'Avalos, who just happened to be the daughter of Carlo d'Avalos, prince of Montesarchio and Sveva Gesualdo. They had a son, Don Emmanuele, who likely had to explain at every family gathering why his mom and dad looked like they could star in a \"Who's Who in the Family Tree\" movie!" | ||

And guess who gets dropped into the royal hot seat? You got it\u2014Carlo! He goes from \u2018average Joe\u2019 to the third Prince of Venosa and the eighth Count of Conza, which is quite the promotion. All that after his dad hit the exit too! Talk about a family reunion\u2014except it\u2019s more like an audition for a royal soap opera!" | ||

| "year": 1594, | ||
| "location": "Ferrara", | ||
| "emoji": "\ud83c\udfb6", | ||
| "fun_version": "During his two-year stint in Ferrara, Gesualdo decided to channel his inner diva and produced his first ever book of madrigals. He was basically the rock star of the Renaissance, jamming with famous musicians and serenading female singers like it was audition day for a reality show. Who needs drama when you have harmonies, right?" | ||

| "emoji": "\ud83d\udc96", | ||
| "fun_version": "Gesualdo decided it was time to upgrade his love life and arranged to marry Leonora d'Este, who just happened to be the niece of Duke Alfonso II. He thought, \"Why not combine music and matrimony?\" So, off he went to Ferrara\u2014probably jamming out on the way, picturing their duet of love before they settled down at his estate. It\u2019s like a romantic getaway, but with more lute and less sunscreen!" | ||

| "emoji": "\ud83c\udfb6", | ||
| "fun_version": "Upon his triumphant return to the royal fortress of Gesualdo after a lengthy vacation in Ferrara\u2014where he undoubtedly dined on pasta and boasted of his musical talents\u2014he promptly turned his castle into a five-star opera house. He gathered a bunch of super-talented musicians (who probably had some serious ear candy) to hang out and belt out his compositions. Because who needs a quiet castle when you can fill it with the sound of virtuoso voices that might just bring the walls down?" | ||

| "emoji": "\ud83d\ude22", | ||
| "fun_version": "After Gesualdo's second marriage sent his son to the big family reunion in the sky, he decided to channel his grief into art. Naturally, he commissioned a painting for the church of the Capuchins at Gesualdo. Because what better way to express your deep family feelings than by immortalizing them in a mural? The painting ended up featuring some rather prominent family figures\u2014all dressed up and looking sharp, because even in mourning, you\u2019ve got to look good for the painting!" | ||

| "year": 1600, | ||
| "location": "Castle of Gesualdo", | ||
| "emoji": "\ud83d\udda4", | ||
| "fun_version": "In his later years, Gesualdo was like a walking advertisement for a gloomy spa retreat\u2014suffering from depression and somehow convincing his servants to turn his home into a sort of beatings-and-bad-vibes establishment. Who needs therapy when you can take a few whacks while composing your next dark masterpiece? It was his own peculiar way of tuning into the 'suffering artist' trope, only he took it a tad too literally!" | ||

| "location": "Italy", | ||
| "emoji": "\u26b0\ufe0f", | ||
| "fun_version": "Carlo Gesualdo checked out of this world, leaving behind a quirky playlist that would make even the most stoic music scholars nod in appreciation - or confusion! His melodies were like that one eccentric uncle at family gatherings, unforgettable and slightly unpredictable. Long after his departure, his tunes echoed like the last notes of a karaoke night gone awry, proving that while he may have left us, his musical legacy was here to stay!" | ||
