Sobre IBD

Lucretia Borgia, Pope Alexander VI’s daughter, became famous in history as the infamous Countess of Pesaro and Duchess of Ferrara, who hosted parties to poison her father’s and her brother Cesare’s enemies. On the contrary, they used her to cover their own crimes and to bring allies to the Church through her marriages. Even history can be falsified when brought down to the level of Court’s gossip or Vatican’s intrigues.

  • Through the years with prince charming
    Paul du Quenoy
    The past decade has overflowed in a raging stream of contradictions. Old certainties have yielded to relentless insecurity over a time when much of the human experience got immeasurably better even as many things only ever seemed to get worse. As Paul du Quenoy’s globetrotting criticism reveals, the arts were in a ferment that matched profound and yet totally unpredicted social...
