Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Although Lucrezia Borgia was a daughter of Pope Alexander VI and chiefly remembered as a raven-haired poisoner, Bellonci depicts a passionate woman moving uncertainly through the papal court and the intrigues, ambitions, and political chicanery that swirled about her. Winner of the Viareggio Literary Award and the Galante Prize in Italy in 1953.
Synopsis:
Among the violent personalities of the High Renaissance, Lucrezia Borgia is chiefly remembered as a raven-haired poisoner, but the Lucrezia depicted here is a passionate, womanly figure moving uncertainly through the Papal court and through the intrigues, ambitions and chicanery around her.

Why call a woman "raven haired" when she is universally determined to be a blonde, like almost all Spanish nobility of her era?
