Add this copy of The Most Illustrious Ladies of the Italian Renaissance to cart. $55.37, good condition, Sold by Bonita rated 4.0 out of 5 stars, ships from Newport Coast, CA, UNITED STATES, published 2019 by Wentworth Press.
This book is pretty good. It contains biographical sketches of some of the more prominent but now lesser-known Renaissance women, such as Renee of France, Caterina Cornano and Bianca Capello, as well as some of the better known ones, such as Lucrezia Borgia and Isabella d?Este.
Not all are successful: the sketches on Bianca Sforza and, especially, Vittoria Colonna, somehow manage to be downright boring. But most of them are highly readable, and the book definitely deserves four stars.
