kavis discovered 3 months ago- From the page: "Isabella, the daughter of Cosimo I de' Medici, was born in 1542. She was known as a woman of great beauty and charm and because of this she became involved in many romantic relationships. As a result, she has, in fact, been tagged as the "Star of the Medici House". However, she was also extremely well educated as she could speak many different languages, play instruments, sing, write verses and even had her Poggio Imperiale mansion in Florence transformed into a haven of authentic literary and artistic works. Unfortunately, the future, or better still, the political and economical interests of her family, meant that she was forced to marry an extremely violent and agressive man called Paolo Giordano Orsini, who besides being a greedy philanderer was the duke of Bracciano.
