Vatican, money and power. The Italian Renaissance is an era of chaos and beauty, endless conspiracies and murders, but at the same time a time of great scientists, philosophers and titans of art.
The names of Rodrigo Borgia and his illegitimate children, Cesare and Lucrezia, were once known throughout Europe. Blood, monstrous debauchery, incest, unheard of corruption, sophisticated poisoning of competitors and cruelty are not all the acts that are attributed to the legendary dynasty. However, despite this, the Borgia family endowed Europe not only with great thinkers, sculptors and artists, but also gave the Catholic world two popes and more than ten cardinals. How many poisons did Pope Alexander VI have in his arsenal? What really happened at the Chestnut Feast? Whose wife was Vannozza dei Cattanei supposed to be? How many mistresses did Cesare have? Did Lucretia have a child from her own father? Who ordered Giovanni's murder? Is it true that Gioffre Borgia's wife slept with his brother? Here is the story of the first Italian mafia - the Borgia dynasty, the most scandalous and controversial, which decided the destinies of Italy.
