The Twilight of Rome's Papal Nobility

The Life of Agnese Borghese Boncompagni Ludovisi

Übersetzer: Cofone, Carol

Beschreibung

The Twilight of Rome’s Papal Nobility is an intimate look at an ancient papal family who grew up accustomed to almost unimaginable wealth, power, and glamour. A tender elegy to a bygone era, this book offers a first-hand account of late nineteenth-century Italy’s social upheavals as the family’s vast private villa is divided up into public lands.

Autor

UGO BONCOMPAGNI LUDOVISI (1856-1935) was the eldest son of Rodolfo Boncompagni Ludovisi and Agnese Borghese Boncompagni Ludovisi. A twice-widowed husband and father of five children, he was the founder of the Scacciadiavoli winery and progenitor of the current Boncompagni Ludovisi dynasty. Following the death of his second wife, he joined the priesthood and ultimately held the influential position of Vice Camerlengo at the Vatican. CAROL COFONE is a translator and assistant director of the digital humanities project Archivio Digitale Boncompagni Ludovisi.
