Description
Genevra Sforza (ca. 1441-1507) was a pivotal figure in Renaissance Italian society, serving as wife to two successive rulers of Bologna and navigating the complex demands of power, family, and gender in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. This scholarly work examines her life through contemporary archival research, revealing how she advanced Bentivoglio family interests through strategic marriages, motherhood, and dynastic planning. Placed by her father Duke Francesco Sforza without a dowry as part of Milanese political strategy, Genevra bore eighteen children and managed the expectations of a powerful family whilst maintaining her own influence. The book explores her agency within gendered constraints, her role in arranging advantageous futures for her children, and her significance as a woman who shaped elite politics in Renaissance Bologna. Part of the Gendering the Late Medieval and Early Modern World series, this study offers fresh insights into female power, family dynamics, and Renaissance politics through the lens of one remarkable woman's life and legacy.
