Perugia is one of the most beautiful cities in Italy. Many of the greatest artists of the Renaissance like Pinturicchio, Raphael or Luca Signorelli worked there. In Perugia a powerful family, The Baglionis, carried out not only a cruel and parallel power of the city in the shadows, but also managed to sponsor the development of the arts with a very gentle touch. In the Summer of Sixteenth century during a wedding ceremony a family feud ended in blood and in the slaughter of many members of the reigning Baglioni family. Eventually, the final winner was Giampaolo Baglioni. In the book, there are also mentioned some members the Borgia and the Medici families, several Popes of the Roman Church and many Doges from Venice. This and much more is accurately narrated with a lively style and astonishingly captivating color illustrations in the book by Alessandra Oddi Baglioni The Red Wedding In this magnificent background Giampaolo Baglioni's life is framed; he shall die in the same year of his friend Raphael.
