L’incoronazione di Poppea has been the subject of much scholarly research. For a long time its composition was attributed purely to Monteverdi, despite much of it not adhering to his usual style. More recent analysis considers this opera to be the product of a vast collaboration by a number of Italian composers of the baroque period, including Benedetto Ferrari, Francesco Sacrati, and Francesco Cavalli. Studies suggest that this collaboration represents the students of Monteverdi, and that perhaps the piece known now as L’incoronazione di Poppea is more of an extended group project.
