Book Reviews of Lucrezia Borgia (Phoenix Press)

Book Review: Lucrezia Borgia re-interpreted
Summary: 5 Stars

Forget the evil, ambitious, poisonous daughter of Pope Alexander VI. Maria Bellonci's 1939 biography of the notorious Lucrezia Borgia is written from the woman's point of view, and reveals the more historical Lucrezia to be a victim of the men around her. Her powerful loving father the Pope, and her brother Cesare are shown as the masters of her puppet strings. Excellent history made readable for everyone. A classic still in print. Cody Cole
