Ramie Targoff's Renaissance Woman tells of the most remarkable woman of the Italian Renaissance: Vittoria Colonna, Marchesa of Pescara. Vittoria has long been celebrated by scholars of Michelangelo as the artist's best friend - the two of them exchanged beautiful letters, poems, and works of art that bear witness to their intimacy - but she also had close ties to Charles V, Pope Clement VII and Pope Paul III, Pietro Bembo, Baldassare Castiglione, Pietro Aretino, Queen Marguerite de Navarre, Reginald Pole, and Isabella d'Este, among others. Vittoria was the scion of an immensely powerful family in Rome during that city's most explosively creative era. Art and literature flourished, but political and religious life were under terrific strain. Personally involved with nearly every major development of this period through both her marriage and her own talents, Vittoria was not only a critical political actor and negotiator but also the first woman to publish a book of poems in Italy, an event that launched a revolution for Italian women's writing. Vittoria was, in short, at the very heart of what we celebrate when we think about 16th-century Italy - through her story the Renaissance comes to life anew.

Ms Eyre cannot read a sentence without sounding distressed, plaintive, or overwrought. She sounds like Gidget writing in her diary. Bizarre treatment of the material. This is not a dramatic, interpretative reading opportunity. Can’t stand her vocal fries and making one syllable words two syllables with a little cry. Such annoying.vocal tics - “ri-ver-uh”
And odd word emphasis as if she has no understanding of the sentence. Too much emoting.

Couldn’t listen to the book due to narrator
