To my ears rather naive, harmonically poor, but still nice to play.
Like a tipical Italian Aria, invites meldic or other lute idiomatic
ornamentation. But it's a splendid occasion! Is there a brave one
who'd make an 11-c d-minor lute edition? It can be plain, as is the
original, or ornamented - in Italian way or French. Examples are in
e.g. three Weiss settings of L'Amant malheureux (Harrah, Polinski and
London). And that's really HIP.

What I find intriguing about Zamboni is how _very_ sparingly he
uses the
diapasons. The 14th course is used only 3 or 4 times throughout all
of the
11 sonatas.
The 12 and 13th are likewise rather scarce (made full use of in
only a few movements), in fact much of the music is set on just 6
courses and I would imagine that most of it would fit very well on
an 11- or even 10 course instrument. (Perhaps even on an 8-course
if stretching it a bit!)
I love this music! IMO one of the lute canon's best kept secrets.
I'm making
my own playing edition just now (its quite free of mistakes as
well) while
listening to the tasty -94 Contini CD.
