Borgia. The First Italian Mafia
14.99 €
The Vatican, Money and Power. The Italian Renaissance was an era of chaos and beauty, endless plots and murders, but also a time of great scientists, philosophers and titans of art.
The names of Rodrigo Borgia and his illegitimate children - Cesare and Lucrezia, at one time knew all of Europe. Blood, monstrous debauchery, incest, unheard of corruption, sophisticated poisoning of competitors and cruelty - not all the deeds 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 to be Vannozza dei Cattanei? How many mistresses did Cesare have? Did Lucrezia have a child with her own father? Who ordered Giovanni's murder? Is it true that Joffre Borgia's wife slept with his brother? Before you is the story of the first Italian mafia - the Borgia dynasty, the most scandalous and controversial, who decided the fate of Italy.
