In 1595, François Cenci, a noble Roman, debauched, burdened with debts and tortured by jealousy, takes and sequesters his second wife Lucrezia and his daughter Beatrice in the Alban Hills. She languishes in her solitude and eventually succumbs to the handsome Olimpio Calvetti, the steward of the castle. The two lovers murder François Cenci... From the Cenci palace to the Tordinona prison, all of Renaissance Italy is vividly reconstituted. After Shelley and Stendhal, Frederic Prokosch recounts this famous and dramatic judicial affair in a dazzling work.
