A Collaltino è dedicata la maggior parte delle 311 rime della Stampa (pubblicate dalla sorella Cassandra nel 1554 e dedicate a Giovanni Della Casa), che, concepite secondo il modello petrarchesco, costituiscono una delle più interessanti raccolte liriche del Cinquecento fra cui Arsi, piansi, cantai; piango, ardo e canto.

(dalla prefazione di Mariella Mulas).
