"Only one chord" :)
With that number of chords that's something totally different.
But I suspect that passamezzo is indeed a blanket term.
Pacoloni has many different "passamezzi", some even on chanson models.
The common thing is the cyclic variation.
Later, the Ciacona is used as a blanket term as well, so much so that
the Passacaglia is a Ciacona in Mattheson's definition.
Bach's Chaconne is both "Ciacona" and "Passacaglia".

It's only one chord different from the Antico (Opening chord Romanesca:
III ; Opening chord Antico: i) and often appears as an Antico alternate
in many sources. Compare the Dalza with the Valderabano Romanesca for
similarity. Libro 7 f97.
Apparently the Romanesca predates the Antico, at least in printed
sources.

ps, I took the liberty of excising the copied info at the bottom of our
