Nancy Dell'Olio nominates the controversial life of Lucrezia Borgia as she says she identifies with this great Renaissance woman as she too is "considered a controversial figure".
Lucrezia Borgia was the Pope's daughter and over the centuries her name has been a byword for poison, incest and intrigue. Novels, TV series, plays and an opera have been written about her. But was she just a victim of malicious gossip that vastly exaggerated her actual misdoings ?
To help uncover the story the expert witness is historian and author Sarah Dunant. The presenter is Matthew Parris and the producer is Perminder Khatkar.
:Nancy Dell'Olio is currently an Ambassador for CharityStars UK.
:Sarah Dunant is author of 'The Borgias-Blood and Beauty'. |
