The Borgias. The art of power

impressive exhibition that looks back on a long process of study and collection of materials that lasted seven years, "The Borgias" is added a vast project of cultural initiatives dedicated to Lucrezia Borgia and during early 2002. The exhibition relies on the preparation of the great set designer Ezio Frigerio and is counting on a substantial number of loans from 42 museums in Europe and internationally. Many of the works on display are also paintings on wood that are rarely sold for travel and for the exceptional event that has come to Rome. The exhibition, curated by Carla Alfano, Learco Andalò and Felipe V. Garin Llombart, saw a close cultural cooperation between Roma and Valencia and aims to offer the public not only vision but also the iconography of the Borgia family history. Far from wanting to perform or further order the family from the serious accusations that have weighed on their conduct for many centuries, the exhibition has three wires: historical, artistic and historical leggendario.Nella team of 1492, the year of discovery of America and period dramatic changes and hard struggle for power, Rodrigo Borgia, ascended to the papacy as Pope Alexander VI. While his court boasted of works of art in the most brilliant artistic minds of the Renaissance, such as Pinturicchio, Pope Alexander with an unscrupulous policy of nepotism and a clear vision, he assured his children Cesare and Lucrezia rapid and unstoppable career. If Cesare Borgia and the whole family, were enveloped by the so-called black legend, which threw a sinister light on their actions and made them the subject of conviction by Guicciardini and Burchard, one can not deny that Caesar himself inspired the image of Prince ideal celebrated by Machiavelli. A room of the exhibition is in fact devoted to Caesar's military equipment and the rapid development of the art of war. The Borgias were men of their time and as such they "had the power, so the law" as the Pastor said. Furthermore, their glory and luxury, with conspicuous obstinacy, were the occasion for the construction of monuments, furniture, churches, palaces and works of art. Do not forget that fact, artists such as Bramante, Michelangelo, Titian, Bosch, Bellini, Mantegna, Bembo, Galileo and many others their stories intertwined with the lives of this family.
