Summary "Romance of Roman Villas (The Renaissance)" by Elizabeth W. Champney is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work explores the grand but now often crumbling villas of Roman cardinals during the Renaissance, delving into their architectural splendor and the vibrant lives that once filled them. Champney is particularly focused on the intriguing stories surrounding these villas, often highlighting the notable figures who inhabited them, including artists and nobility. At the start of the book, the author introduces the historical context of the villas belonging to the cardinals, reflecting on how their grandeur has faded over time while still maintaining a unique charm. The opening chapters hint at the lives of prominent figures such as Cesare Borgia, and the fierce, beautiful Caterina Sforza, whose defiance embodies the dramatic conflicts and political intrigues of the era. The narrative interweaves historical references with evocative descriptions of the villas, setting the stage for a compelling exploration of art, romance, and the societal dynamics of Renaissance Italy.
