Basilica della Santa Casa
Rodrigo lived with his father's sister Sancha of Aragon until her death in 1506, then he grew up with Isabella of Naples, Duchess of Bari. Lucrezia had tried many times to have little Rodrigo in Ferrara but her plans were ruined. She sent him gifts and letters and, when he was 9 years old, an educator from the University of Ferrara. In 1506 Lucrezia arranged a meeting at the Basilica della Santa Casa in Loreto but it never happened. In August 1512, Rodrigo died aged 12 in Bari from illness. After his death, Lucrezia was allowed to go to Bisceglie in order to liquidate his assets and dispose of his court. She attended a memorial service and then returned to the Convent of Saint Bernardino where she grieved for a month. Only in 1518, a year before Lucrezia's death, did she receive Rodrigo's inheritance.
