The first modern ballet was given by Italian dance master Bergonzio di Botta at Tortona, Italy to celebrate the marriage of Galeazzo Visconti, Duke of Milan, to Isabel Aragon in 1489. Each course of the celebratory wedding meal was heralded with a dance called an "entree". The word ballet comes from the Italian word balletti, meaning to dance.
