Confessions of a 'Holy Sinner': The Love Diary of the Renaissance Era

First time in Russian! A stunning confession from the most beautiful, the most passionate, and “fateful” woman of the Renaissance. A love confession from the legendary Lucrezia Borgia, who in her youth was considered the greatest sinner of the Renaissance—and in her third marriage, almost a saint.

In 1505, the Vatican demanded that Lucrezia not only repent of her own sins in writing, but also give testimony against her father and brother. By that time, Pope Alexander Borgia had already been laid to rest, and Cesare Borgia languished in Spanish captivity. And the new pope ordered Lucrezia to publicly denounce her relatives, confirm all the filthy rumors about the “Borgia monsters,” acknowledge accusations of debauchery, incest, bribery, simony, and countless murders attributed to her family.

Did Lucrezia agree to renounce her loved ones and betray the love of her entire life? Did she repent of her sins? What did she tell about the most intimate love secrets of the Renaissance?

Read this surprisingly sincere and sensual book— the confession of the “SAINTLY SINNER” of the Renaissance, recently discovered in the secret archives of the Vatican and translated into Russian for the first time!
