Italian term or phrase: gli era corsa incontro incurante dell\'etichetta

Contesto (Christopher Columbus, and the "ragazzina" is the princess):

L'immagine che più gli tornava alla mente era quella della ragazzina che, staccandosi del grupo dei figli dei re Cattolici, gli era corsa incontro incurante dell'etichetta nel giorno del suo trionfo, quando al ritorno dal primo viaggio alle Indie era stato accolto in gran pompa dai sovrani dinanzi a un imponente schieramento di nobili e dignitari dei regni di Castiglia e di Aragona.

Grazie,
