 Dive into the dark history of the notorious Borgias and the tragic Cenci in Dumass Celebrated Crimes. This detailed account, not intended for the faint of heart, vividly portrays the violent scenes of a turbulent era. Despite some distortions and controversial allegations, the mature, discerning reader will appreciate the depth of research involved. The Borgias, an infamous Florentine family infamous for their violent intrigue, have nonetheless found defenders throughout history. Contrastingly, the Cencis tale is one of unspeakable tragedy, with the beautiful Beatrice Cenci forever immortalized in art, literature, and poetry, her story evoking infinite pathos. This volume invites you to explore these fascinating historical narratives in all their complexity.
