Monferrina

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Monferrina was an 18th-century country dance named for its place of origin in Montferrat, Piedmont, Italy, which became popular in England around 1800 under the names monfrina, monfreda, and manfredina.

It was a lively dance to music in 6/8 time. Collections of music for the dance include Wheatstone's Country Dances for 1810.
