Gaspare Murtola (Italian pronunciation: [ˈɡaspare ˈmurtola]; d. 1624[1] or 1625[2]) was an Italian poet and writer of madrigals. He is known for a bitter literary feud with Giambattista Marino, carried out "with sonnets, invectives, and pistol shots,"[3] and for references he makes in his poetry to art works by Caravaggio. His main work is the sacred poem La Creazione del mondo ("The Creation of the World," 1608).[4]
