Why do you think this is from late 16th century Italy? Is this a pizza? 
I'd love to see more details about this dish, even if you don't have an 
actual recipe.
There are these two file in the FOOD-BREADS section of the Florilegium, 
but I don't believe the pizza one has any actual recipes:
pizza-msg         (19K)  5/ 4/04    Period pizza and similar items.
Is-it-Pizza-art   (27K)  4/27/04    "When is a Pizza not a Pizza?"
                                        by Helewyse de Birkestad

Perhaps this file in the FOOD-BOOKS section might be of use, although 
the books mentioned might also be in Italian:
p-Italy-food-bib   (9K) 12/ 1/99    Bibliographies on period Italian 
food.

There is this file in the FOOD-BY-REGION section:
fd-Italy-msg      (21K)  5/22/05    Period Italian food. Cookbooks.

Perhaps these files in the FEASTS section might also be of use:
picnic-feasts-msg (12K)  7/ 6/01    Ideas for light, picnic style 
feasts.
Platina-Feast-art (10K)  5/24/01    A feast from Platina by Lady 
Clotild.
Platina-Lunch-art  (8K)  5/24/01    An Italian lunch using recipes from 
Platina.
