The Renaissance Italian author [[Matteo Bandello]] wrote on it the novel 44 of the 1st part of his ''Novelle'' (Lucca, Busdrago, 1554); on this text the Spanish playwright [[Lope de Vega]] took inspiration to compose his most famous tragedy, ''El castigo sin venganza'' ([[Punishment Without Revenge]], first published 1631);<ref>Guillermo Carrascón, "Lope de Vega y las ''Historias trágicas exemplares'' de Matteo Bandello", ''Archivio Novellistico Italiano'', 2 (2017): 2-24.</ref> Edward Gibbon told this story in his ''[[Miscellaneous Works of Edward Gibbon\|Miscellaneous Works]]'', and [[George Byron]] wrote the poem ''[[Parisina]]'' in 1816. A libretto by [[Felice Romani]] after the English poem was set to music by [[Gaetano Donizetti]] in 1833 as ''[[Parisina (opera)\|Parisina]]''. [[Pietro Mascagni]] composed a tragic opera ''[[Parisina (Mascagni)\|Parisina]]'' based on the lyric tragedy written by [[Gabriele D'Annunzio]] in 1912 as another adaptation of Byron's poem. There is also a lesser-known opera by [[Tomás Giribaldi]] (1878) and a tragedy by [[Antonio Somma]].
