Cesare
Borgia
by Sarah Bradford
Book Description Accusations of treachery, rape, incest, and
murder: almost five centuries have passed since Cesare Borgia's death,
and his reputation still casts a sinister shadow. Yet the real man was
a mesmerizing figure who inspired Machiavelli's classic The Prince. During
the brief space of time when he occupied the stage, he shocked and stunned
his contemporaries with his lofty ambitions and daring, becoming the most
feared, hated, and envied man of his day. By 31 he was dead: his story
assumes the proportions of Greek tragedy.

Florence
and the Medici
by J.R. Hale
Book Description The enduring fascination of the Medici springs
from their ability--as individuals and as a family--to control the government
of Florence, first as a quasi-democracy and finally through inheritance.
Based on the latest research, this perceptive study, by one of the finest
Renaissance scholars of the day, reveals the causes and the nature of the
Medicis' power of patronage from the early 15th-century through the early
18th. "...probing, sharp-eyed, utterly unsentimental...some of the most
revealing insights come...in a chapter about the growth of the Medici legend.."--Roy
Foster.

Land
and Power in Late Medieval Ferrara: The Rule of the Este, 1350-1450
by Trevor Dean
Book Description: Among the many states of late medieval Italy, one
stands out for its unfamiliarity to an English audience and for its neglect
in historical research: that of the Este family, lords (later Dukes) of
the cities of Ferrara, Modena and Reggio in northern Italy. This book is
the first modern attempt to provide a detailed analysis of the political
structure of this state based on archive sources. Much of the book is concerned
with the ways by which the Este used their vast landed resources in and
around Ferrara to build up and reinforce their personal political authority
both within and outside their dominions. Among the major themes examined
are the continuing presence of political feudalism in the relations between
the Este and their supporters, the place of the court in Ferrarese noble
society, and the violent imposition of Este authority over the powerful
nobles of the Apennine hills.

The
Este Monuments and Urban Development in Renaissance Ferrara
by Charles M. Rosenberg
Book Description: The Este Monuments and Urban Development in Renaissance
Ferrara examines the transformation of one of Italy's most important city
states as engineered by a succession of Este rulers. During the course
of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, four public sculptural monuments
dedicated to Este princes were erected or planned for the city. Set into
the context of the urban development of Ferrara, the four projects reveal
the role that princely and public patronage played in the process of political
self-fashioning and promotion in early Renaissance Italy.
