In Piombino Cesare had left Michele da Corella as his governor. This Corella was a captain of foot, a soldier of fortune, who from the earliest days of Cesare's military career had followed the duke's fortunes ―the very man who is alleged to have strangled Alfonso of Aragon by Cesare's orders. He is generally assumed to have been a Spaniard and is commonly designated as Michelotto, or Don Miguel; but Alvisi supposes him, from his name of Corella, to have been a Venetian, and he tells us that by his fidelity to Cesare and the implicit manner in which he executed his master's orders, he earned―as is notorious―considerable hatred. He has been spoken of, indeed, as the âme damnée of Cesare Borgia; but that is a purely romantic touch akin to that which gave the same designation to Richelieu's Father Joseph.

@nuaedizioni pubblica un romanzo storico come si deve a opera della bravissima @federica_soprani. 1505, Castel Sant'Angelo: il prigioniero Michele riceve la visita di un amico di un glorioso tempo che fu, l'arguto Niccolò. Ma il prigioniero è Corella, il sicario che rese Cesare Borgia una personalità controversa della nostra storia, mentre il visitatore è Machiavelli, l'autore del Principe e teorico politico d'avanguardia. Da questa drammatica visita, ripercorriamo il Rinascimento e la storia di una delle famiglie più celebri della Storia con la S maiuscola, fra scandali a corte e strategie diplomatiche. Sul blog la recensione! #corella #borgia #cesareborgia #lucreziaborgia #storia #romanzo #romanzostorico #libri #books #ticonsigliounlibro #bookblogger #recensione #leggere #reading #review #narrativa #booklover #libridaleggere #bookalcoholic #bookaddict #bookworm https://www.instagram.com/p/CIiJ0ojHyj2/?igshid=k8xfenxz20xw

Il blog consiglia “Corella. L’ombra del Borgia” di Federica Soprani NUA editore. Da non perdere!!! Se i miei desideri avessero ancora voce, quella sarebbe la tua, Michele. Che ne sarà di me quando non ci saranno più le tue ali a sostenere il mio volo?
