movement of italian society and the temper OF

Verona and had knighted him. Giovanni was
encouraged by his prosperity to make love to
Maria Varana the widowed sister of the young
prefect Francesca della ROvere. That individual.
still in his teens, was true son of the Renais-
sance Enraged by what he considered an af-
front to his sister and the family honor. he
treacherously murdered Giovanni Andrea, stab
bing him to the heart while his servants held
his victim by the arms. Francesca fled to his
city of Sngagla, and for little while the
court was becOmngly scandaliZed. But only
short time afterward Castgione writes to his
mother, saying:
