So timely to me. I just launched a Borgia binge; been watching the tv show along with reading a non-fiction (by Christopher Hibbert) and Blood & Beauty, which I just finished (and I got a copy of the second book but haven't started it yet) I also read The Vatican Princess by CW Gortner, which was pretty lurid, but entertaining. Next up for me are the Medicis.. Appreciate your videos, I'm a longtime fan...
Hi Jennifer. I love Sarah Dunant. I discovered her thanks to you. I’ve read three of her books. I started with her first Borgia book but had to return it to the library. I will read her two Borgia books at some point this year. Love this kind of video.
Have you read the manga "Cesare - Il Creatore che ha distrutto"? It's amazing, beautifully illustrated, very slow paced and positive towards Cesare. It all takes place when he's 16 and in university in Pisa, and it ends with the conclave. He's shown as sharp and ruthless, though he's also an idealist. There's also a new musical adaptation that's amazing. You should look it up. There's an original character, Angelo, who's more or less the point of view character. He's shippable with Cesare (and they sing nice duets together in the musical) but a lot of the fans ship Cesare with Miguel (Michelotto). Giovanni de'Medici is also a major character in it.
Ok thanks for helping me figure out what to read next- B&B is on my shelf & ive been dying to get to it 🤗 Just finishing C&Punishment.. im not loving it 😒 nor the P&V translation 😏(fingers crossed TI & TBK are more to my liking). Love your Renaissance videos! 😊
Sarah Bradford has written, in my opinion, two fabulous biographies about Lucrezia and Cesare Borgia. Highly recommended you check out them out. One is titled Lucrezia Borgia: Life, Love, and Death in Renaissance Italy and the other is simply Cesare Borgia
